New to the Virginia Cybersecurity Education Conference this year - we're introducing a poster track!

Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to present their cybersecurity related work, along with cybersecurity educators and practitioners. There will be a group of judges who will present an Award of Excellence to an undergraduate student and graduate student. There will also be an Innovation in K-12 Cybersecurity Education award, Innovation in Post-Secondary Cybersecurity Education, and Excellence Cybersecurity Education and Industry Partnership.

For more information on the proposal format, judging criteria, poster topic ideas and more, visit the poster proposal submission site at: https://vacr.io/posters2021.
