“I love the support and networking opportunities you find at 3CS. There is incredible diversity: geographic, background, work and educational experience, gender, and cultural. And everyone I've met shares a passion for meeting the cybersecurity workforce and educational needs of our Nation and the global world in which we live. I am inspired!”, states Susan Svane, North Central Texas College.
