CAE-CD Meet Your Cyber Competition Initiative
The purpose of the CAE-CD Meet Your Cyber Competition initiative is to conduct the monthly events during Fall and Winter/Spring terms, as well as to promote to the CAE Community relevant student competitions and Capture the Flag (CTF) activities.
The “CAE-CD Meet Your Cyber Competition” initiative is co-chaired by:
-
Jake Mihevc - Mohawk Valley Community College

Advanced Registration Required!
Only those using their .edu email to register and are from a current CAE (CD, CO, and/or R) or part of the CAE Program Development or Application Assistance will be considered. Do not use gmail!
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. We will be using the same link for the upcoming monthly events, so feel free to add the link to your calendar.
