Community College Cyber Summit Virtual (3CSv) Registration is Open
3CSv is an experiment in providing a more interactive, virtual forum - different from most virtual conferences where presenters simply talk at the participants. This event is not to be confused with the face-to-face Community College Cyber Summit (3CS), Nov. 5-7 at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, OH. 3CSv takes place March 1st, with interactive and facilitated sessions in the morning and afternoon.

With the sudden and universal transition to e-learning, cybersecurity educators have had to adapt and change the way they teach and engage their students. The innovations you’ve brought into your classroom that make your course effective and engaging during this unprecedented time should be celebrated, and shared with a broader audience! This year's Innovation in Cybersecurity Education submissions will explore the following: How can we best contribute to the needs and transformations that might occur for remote/online instruction in the COVID-19 world?
