I enjoyed the Orientation to Cybersecurity Careers class. The guest speakers gave great presentations. It was a privilege to attend the presentation by the senior technical manager of infrastructure services that discussed network and security architecture—it was especially illuminating and inspiring.

I am glad the cybersecurity program took off at Harper College. The Career Path Navigator has provided a lot of information and updates throughout its development and thereafter; I am thankful for their initiative and communication.

I'm absolutely loving this program. I have already learned so much and applied some further security on my own devices.
