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.Innovation Accelerator
