CSUSB Cybersecurity Center Open House 2021

Cal State University San Bernardino

Juniors & Seniors

Be a part of the CSUSB Cybersecurity Open House for the annual community cyber engagement of the year!

Friday, october 22, 2021 6-8pm

Come learn about the benefits that cybersecurity can bring to your academic and career goals. Faculty will provide an overview of the various academic programs, career paths, jobs outlook and scholarships at CSUSB for cyber majors. Attendees will then be guided to the lab spaces for project demos by students.

NOTE: The safety of all participants of the Open House event is our utmost concern. Under covid-19 guidelines, we're requesting a primary phone number of all attendees. Therefore, instead of one individual purchasing multiple tickets, we ask that each attendee register for their own ticket. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.

SAVE TIME AT THE CHECK-IN TABLE: Tickets must reflect a unique name for each attendee. Ticket holders with duplicate names will need to take additional time at the check-in table to identify themselves for the record.
