Community of Practice Symposiums

Our Community of Practice Symposiums are held annually and bring together DeVry students, faculty, alumni, industry partners and experts to assess and respond to the needs of the community, leverage our findings to educate the current and future workforce and inspire the information technology and information security community through outreach and support. These virtual events are free of charge and aim to improve community collaboration, communication and knowledge sharing.

Community Engagement

We strive to make a difference in our own communities by offering programs that educate and inform today’s youth about the vast world of cyber security.

Hackathons

In collaboration with local high schools, these sprint-like events are led by DeVry Professors to help students learn to develop and utilize appropriate software to access various operating systems, web platforms and video game algorithms. Students are divided into teams to collectively work to solve tasks, gaining exposure to the cyber security industry and skills that can evolve into a life-long career or interest.
