Welcome to Week 2 of the Fall Quarter – Join a Community!
For the new students starting at STC this quarter, take a deep breath. Whether you are an international student adjusting to the American culture, a domestic student with a family and a job, or a returning student, our team appreciates the commitment you are making.
This week I want to encourage students to consider the opportunities and resources available through City U and STC. Our Invited Talks provide valuable insights into technology careers, contacts with industry experts, and the opportunity to build your professional network. Today in honor of Cybersecurity Awareness month, Kelly Hughes, Senior Manager, Business Continuity and Enterprise Risk, has a high-level view of cybersecurity and technical business operations at AVNET.
Attending an Invited Talk or listening to a recording are effective ways to expand your horizons.
Our communities are venturing out to in-person conferences and meet-ups while still offering many virtual opportunities. Take advantage of these groups to build your personal network and expand your community.
Last month nine students and five faculty attended SECtember, the Cloud Security Alliance’s annual conference in Bellevue, Washington. We met people from all over the USA, Italy, Finland, Mexico, and Germany – just to mention a few countries! With 86 CSA Chapters globally, my challenge for every STC student is to join a CSA Chapter near you and get involved in your CSA community.
When you sign-up for a chapter, send an email to c4cyi@cityu.edu. Subject Line: I joined Cloud Security Alliance. In your email, list the chapter you joined with your name, personal email, and cell number. Attend meetings, interact with CSA members, and get involved. Every time you take action, send us an update in your “I joined Cloud Security” email thread. Next quarter, all STC members with “active CSA email threads” will have their names entered into a raffle for a $35.00 gift card. If you are actively involved in an STC student club, you automatically get your name put into the raffle, too.
See you at the Invited Talk tonight!
