Discontinued Group:

The Collegiate Subgroup has been discontinued as part of the restructuring of the NICE Community Coordinating Council (formerly NICE Working Group), introduction of new NICE Working Groups aligned to the NICE Strategic Plan, and transition of some of the subgroups to NICE Communities of Interest. This page is provided for historical purposes. 

The NICE Program Office thanks these group members for their commitment and involvement in this subgroup. We encourage members to join one or more of the new Working Groups or Communities or Interest.

Focus:

On topics pertaining to the burgeoning Information Security discipline, including guiding curricular standards, aligning academic pathways to the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework work roles, and stimulating the development of approaches and techniques that can more rapidly increase the supply of qualified cybersecurity workers.
