Friday meetings!

We are going to start off the year with Friday and Saturday meetings. If Friday attendance is low, we will talk about switching it up.

These weekday/ Friday meetings will be focused on the basics of Cybersecurity and providing study materials for the Security+ exam. Come hang out and learn a bit! All meetings for January are currently posted in GrizzOrgs and the CyberOU Discord. Friday meetings will be in a different room on the second floor of the EC. Hope to see you there.
