Compugirls Cyber Warrior Summer 2022

Meet & Greet on June 11, 2022

On June 11, 2022, the Center for Gender Equity in Science and Technology (CGEST) hosted an enthusiastic crowd of students and campers at their Compugirls Cyber Warrior Summer 2022 Camp Meet and Greet at the ASU Memorial Union. In attendance during the morning session were parents and students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Kudos to Manfred Reysser, Project Coordinator; Rachel Ware, Graduate Research Assistant; and Sarthak Aggarwal, Project Assistant, for organizing an excellent DSEC-funded event for the upcoming Cybersecurity camp hosted for high school students in Arizona.

Dr. Tara Nkrumah, Acting Executive Director, engaged the audience in activities designed to build connections with each other by learning the history of our names and she talked about the purpose of the Center's work in connection with the camp.
