CCRI\u202fCybersecurity Club\u202fMarks Second High-Ranking Win<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CCRI Cybersecurity Club\u2019s achievement in the National Cyber League competition is a tremendous source of pride for our entire community,\u201d said CCRI President Rosemary A. Costigan. \u201cThis strong showing is a direct testament to the talent and dedication of our students, the expert guidance from our faculty, and the rigorous preparation the club undertakes. Their ability to consistently perform at this high national level solidifies CCRI\u2018s reputation as a leading institution in cybersecurity education and demonstrates that our students are well-prepared for real-world cybersecurity tasks and the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coached by Cybersecurity Program director Michael Kelly and adjunct faculty member Joe Bransfield, CCRI students\u00a0participated\u00a0in individual and team-based events at the NCL fall competition. The Cybersecurity Club features two teams: the Cyber Knights and the Cyber Cavalry.<\/p>\n

The Cyber Knights team members are: Corey Davis (West Warwick), Maria Monteiro (Woonsocket), Gabriel Nahod (Warwick), Zachary Hartmann (Barrington), Matthew Mitrelis (Coventry), Elias Marcotte (Pascoag), and Caleb Carr (East Greenwich). The Cyber Cavalry team members were: Cloud Creegan (West Warwick), Wade Chmielinski (North Smithfield), John Gillard (Newport), Reichard Vega (North Providence), Peter Yrchik-Shoemaker (Wakefield), Damian Raposa (Warwick), and Daniel Buckman (Coventry).<\/p>\n

Davis, the club Vice President, highlighted a key difference between the spring and fall seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, the biggest improvement we had was the sheer\u00a0amount\u00a0of people interested in learning about and competing in the NCL,\u201d he said. \u201cWe ended up with two full teams of seven this semester. Cyber Cavalry was entirely new to NCL but had some\u00a0really great\u00a0leadership,\u00a0participation\u00a0and drive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club did an excellent job of bringing new faces, including me,\u201d said Gillard, who led the Cyber Calvary. \u201cI think getting club members involved with events helped\u00a0maintain\u00a0the momentum they built. We hosted and joined many events that allowed us to engage with the community and put our skills to use in competitions. I met so many smart and interesting people, and I hope new members can\u00a0benefit\u00a0from those experiences,\u00a0too.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CCRI Cybersecurity Club prepares students for the industry on a professional and social level. In addition to competing in national competitions, students meet to talk about cyber news and\u00a0participate\u00a0in other cybersecurity-related activities. The club welcomes all students.<\/p>\n
