CS Club, Local Groups & Associations

Center for Cybersecurity Education at VWCC > CS Club, Local Groups & Associations

CS Club

The VWCC Computer Science Club is a student organization, open to all active VWCC students, that meets regularly to discuss cyber security, programming, and networking. Club members are also given access to online virtual machines and networks (Kali, Ubuntu, Centos and others) to practice security techniques in safe space. Virtual systems are provided by The Virginia Cyber Range.

Club members also have the option of competing against each other in our own custom Capture The Flag environment, and joining other CTF events throughout the year.

If you’re interested in joining, contact Mr. B bbagby@virginiawestern.edu.
