Message from the President

As we thaw out from winter, we are moving at full speed with our spring activities this year! We have six events scheduled for just for this season (so far)!

As far as our upcoming conference, we started planning for it way in advance this year and it is shaping up to be our best one yet! To learn more about it, check out our SECON conference section below.

Another nice recent development is that students from across NJ/NY are starting to find out about us, due to our various outreach programs.

Hope to meet many of you at one of our upcoming events!

Educational Training


NYU and (ISC)² New Jersey Chapter

In addition to participating in NYU Tandon events, lectures, career fairs, and other professional development activities, (ISC)² will offer students a full membership completely free giving them access to a network of local industry leaders.
