Cyber by Design: Supporting Cyber-Ready Pathways Across Disciplines
Thursday June 25, 2026 2:45pm - 3:30pm CDT
BLDG T-101/102
Cybersecurity touches far more students than just those who plan to major in it. Students in programs such as healthcare, medical records, criminal justice, automotive technology, and manufacturing regularly encounter cybersecurity issues in their coursework and future jobs, but they don’t always see how cybersecurity skills connect to their fields.

This workshop introduces the Explore Cyber Toolkit, a collection of practical resources designed to help students explore cybersecurity careers across disciplines. Co-presented by a faculty member and an academic advisor, the session shows how teaching and advising can work together to support conversations about cybersecurity careers, minors, certificates, and cyber-adjacent pathways.

Participants will work through several of the toolkit’s worksheets, including activities focused on interests and personality, career role mapping, and pathway planning. These tools are designed to help students connect what they already enjoy and do well in their majors to cybersecurity roles that exist in critical infrastructure areas like healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and public safety.

Rather than treating cybersecurity as a standalone program, the workshop focuses on using shared tools and common language to make cyber pathways clearer and more accessible to a wider range of students. Attendees will leave with ready-to-use worksheets and practical ideas they can immediately apply in advising sessions, classrooms, workshops, and outreach events.
