LIBERTY CORNER, New Jersey — While the world-class athletes competing on golf’s grandest stage undoubtedly were the focus at this year’s U.S. Open championships, there was another group of all-stars working tirelessly behind the scenes for a once-in-a-lifetime experience of their own: the Cisco Dream Team.

The Dream Team is a group of top students from Cisco’s Networking Academy, which for the past two decades has empowered more than 9.2 million students in 180 countries around the world by providing education, technical training, and career mentorship. Only the very best students are chosen for the Dream Team, which works side-by-side with Cisco engineers at major events around the world to ensure the world-class network performance that partners and customers rely upon. Thanks to Cisco’s role as the Official Technology Partner of the United States Golf Association and its championships, a few lucky Dream Team members were chosen to support the on-site network at both the 2019 U.S. Women’s Open at the Country Club of Charleston and the 2019 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
