Cyber Ready

Our popular symposium is back and better than ever. Hear from our alumni and parent cyber professionals as you explore new trends, roles, and the skills required to succeed in this evolving field. The event includes a mixed format including a panel discussion with industry experts, alumni presentations, and current Leahy Center students working in the field along with networking breakout sessions throughout. Simply put, Cyber Ready is the perfect opportunity to gain valuable insights and engage with the next generation of Champlain cyber students and Champlain’s network of alumni, parents, friends, and faculty working in the field.
