Earlier this week, every STC program held a Welcome, Orientation, and Networking (WON) session. We thank the students who attended and encourage students to attend future WON events.
Quarterly events consist of the Welcome, Orientation and Networking session which will be held the third week of the quarter. The Listening Session with the Dean and Director occurs every seventh week of the quarter. In a townhall format, Dean Chung and Director Morgan Zantua want to hear from you, what is working, and opportunities to improve offerings. Student input also guides selection of speakers for Invited Talks and topics for workshops.
Events are announced in the STC Thursday Byte and on the STC Center for Information Assurance Education website https://ciae.cityu.edu
Next week Dr. Radana Dvorak assumes the role of the Editor for the Thursday Byte. Event announcements, recognitions and contributions to the Thursday Byte can be sent directly to: dvorakradana@cityu.edu.
