Students enrolled in information security, computer science, and information technology degree programs can talk with representatives from a range of IT and cybersecurity businesses and industries that have job openings. Students as well as recent graduates, resumes in hand, come ready to speak with potential employers. Faculty attending 3CS may also observe the pre-summit job fair in order to understand what jobs are available and the skills required for the multitude of positions. Although 2017 was the first year of this tailored job fair, students are still raving about it... “The job fair was a very good experience. While there were a couple positions that I was not interested in (though others obviously were), most of the companies were great.” “In fact, after having submitted my resume to one company, a manager approached me towards the end of the job fair. Now, I have another trip to DC planned for next week in order to get interviewed by them. Overall, the job fair was an amazing experience, and I'd love to support future events in any way I can." As demand continues to grow for qualified cybersecurity employees, 3CS continues to educate the educators and decision-makers at community colleges about cybersecurity education. The fifth annual 3CS is scheduled for Aug. 2 to 4, in Gresham and Portland, Oregon. This year’s theme is “Expanding Expertise – Transforming Cybersecurity Programs”. Four tracks include: 1) New to cybersecurity 2) Experienced in cybersecurity and CAE-CD aspirants 3) Cybersecurity across the curriculum 4) Student track
The STUDENT TRACK is helpful for those who attended the job fair as it includes information on student competitions, associations, summer camps, and more!

The information sciences focus on helping people to discover better information, design and use better technology, and make better decisions to solve problems. Whether those problems are in business, medicine, education, the arts, or any number of other fields, information professionals are able to grapple with the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.
i3
welcomes students from all majors and academic disciplines. The
information sciences are incredibly diverse and interdisciplinary. With
so many different specializations, students can find a program that
meets their interests.
Research Project Publications
i3 Scholars work remotely to complete their
yearlong research projects under the guidance of an advisor. Once they
complete the program, i3 Scholars are encouraged to submit their
projects for publication at academic conferences. Over 30 projects have

(a sample of past projects is listed below). i3 Scholars receive travel
