COMMUNITY COLLEGE CYBER SUMMIT (3CS)

The role of community colleges in preparing students for cybersecurity careers keeps evolving with the threat landscape. Workforce partnerships, readiness to detect and respond to new tactics, techniques, and procedures, and evidence-based measures of program effectiveness remain essential. Continued innovation—in curriculum, labs, and employer engagement—is how programs stay credible and graduates stay prepared for real job duties.

Be Part of 3CS Leadership

As a guiding principle, we believe that the leadership of 3CS as a critical national resource demands the involvement of a diverse set of stakeholder groups, including educators, students, administrators, employers, policy-makers, and vendors, especially those from underrepresented populations. Updated operating guidance limits how many committees any single institution or stakeholder group may lead. That shift keeps conference leadership more inclusive by encouraging contributions from any cybersecurity education community member who wants a voice.

Committees include: Career Exploration Event, Finance, Marketing, Program, Sponsors, Steering, Tactical, Venue, and Volunteer
