CAE-CD New and Early-Career Faculty Members

The aim of this CAE-CD initiative is to engage new and early-career faculty members, bringing their voices to the CAE Community. It will provide monthly workshops for new and early career faculty members to learn more about CAE Community initiatives related to hands-on learning to increase the quality of classroom instruction. This will be accomplished by conducting outreach to CAE POCs to solicit involvement from their new and young faculty (via CAE Community newsletter and PMO notifications), listening to the needs of those faculty members, and developing monthly workshops to support their exploration and application of tools and resources to strengthen the cybersecurity offerings at CAE institutions.

January 17, 2025: Meet and Greet for the New and Early Career Faculty

Since the NCyTE monthly meeting is scheduled at the same time and it's the start of the semester, we wanted to use this opportunity to connect with new and early-career faculty outside of a traditional workshop format. Our goal is to showcase the materials we have on YouTube from the past two semesters and encourage more people to get involved in planning and running workshops. This session will be shorter than our typical workshops.
