Bianca Ionescu, (Computer Science and Management Entrepreneurship, and Technology) a UNLV CyberCorps SFS Scholar, was invited to present on the UNLV Cyber Clinic at the Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS) Conference that recently took place in Dallas, Texas.

WiCyS’ mission is to recruit, retain and advance women in cybersecurity to build a robust cybersecurity workforce. Currently a graduate student in UNLV's interdisciplinary CSEC program, Ionescu founded UNLV’s WiCyS Student Chapter as an undergraduate and is currently serving as Vice President of UNLV’s Cyber Clinic. 

Ionescu’s presentation, “Empowering Tomorrow’s Cyber Leaders Through Student-Led Clinics,” focused on the unique structure and benefits of a student-led clinic, both to the students involved as well as to the clients they serve. This model stands out as the ideal approach, providing critical guidance that helps small businesses safeguard their livelihoods from cyber threats while equipping students with the leadership skills they need to excel in the cybersecurity workforce.
