Join us as at the first annual Mississippi Cybersecurity Faculty Retreat, coordinated by USM's School of Computing Sciences and Computer Engineering (CSCE). Cybersecurity education, resources and prevention will be the focal points as we build our community of cybersecurity faculty in higher ed, military and workforce development across Mississippi. 

Scheduled speakers include: Ruthe Farmer, Founder & CEO, Last Mile Education Fund; Rachel Wortman Morris, Ph.D., Senior Business Program Manager - Worldwide Learning, Microsoft; and Curt Dennis, Senior Manager of Product Development, Secureworks.

This retreat is hosted as part of the Mississippi Cyber Initiative (MCI), which was created to meet the challenges of the cybersecurity reality in the state and around the nation and position Mississippi as a leader in a field that will be of critical importance in the years ahead. The MCI is a statewide effort led by Mississippi State University with implementing partners from Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College and USM.
