2016 Conference on CYBERSECURITY EDUCATION, RESEARCH & PRACTICE will be held at the Burruss Building #151, Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw GA October 29-30, 2016 and Hosted by the Center for Information Security Education, Coles College of Business, Kennesaw State University

PLEASE NOTE THE DEADLINE FOR UNDERGRADUATE PAPERS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO AUGUST 31, 2016.
The Conference on Cybersecurity Education Research and Practice (CCERP) invites undergraduate students to submit papers to the conference, Authors of papers accepted at the conference will be invited to present posters at the event and will be awarded a one-time grant award of $500 to cover their costs of attendance and travel to and from the event.

For undergraduate students: Papers should have relevance to the practice of information security/cybersecurity. Contact Dr. Herb Mattord at hmattord@kennesaw.edu for a copy of the template to be used in the submission of your paper.

The NSF grant awarded to the conference will provide stipends for selected students to attend. As these stipends will more than cover the cost of traveling to and attending the conference it will result in a de facto scholarship. 

As part of a National initiative, the conference will promote the dual themes of Cybersecurity workforce development and Cybersecurity hygiene (also known as security awareness and safety).
 
Undergraduate Student Poster Session on Cybersecurity Hygiene and Workforce Development. Undergraduate students are invited to submit short research papers (5 pages max) on Cybersecurity Hygiene or Workforce topics. Accepted students will be invited to create and conduct poster sessions during the conference, with the top 15 undergraduate students receiving $500 stipends to cover the cost of attending the conference. 

Our grant will also support keynote speakers.
