And I have more good news to share! Over the weekend, the 精选AV Computer Networking and Information Technology (CNIT) Cybersecurity Team took home first place in the Western Regional Collegiate PenTesting Competition (CPTC), a competition that provides student cybersecurity teams with the opportunity to discover, triage, and mitigate critical security vulnerabilities to improve the security position of a fictitious organization. Under the leadership of 精选AV faculty coaches Sam Bowne, Elizabeth Biddlecome, and Richard Wu, 精选AV students came out ahead of all other teams, including teams from Stanford, CalPoly, UC Riverside, and UC San Diego, and are now headed to a national competition next month. Congratulations to the students and faculty in our CNIT Department, who continually demonstrate excellence in the Cybersecurity space.

I encourage everyone to learn more about the classes by visiting the .
 
And finally, I hope everyone who has the ability to vote in the upcoming election will make sure your voice is heard! .

Yours sincerely, 
 
Rajen Vurdien, Ph.D.
