State of Grace Conference

The College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity (CEHC) is hosting its annual “State of Grace” conference this week to celebrate women in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics) fields. The conference is a spinoff of the national “Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing,” which is being hosted this week in Orlando, Fla. The conference varies slightly each year with new sessions that are tailored to help women succeed in STEAM. This year, the conference is offering sessions both in person and virtually, including a number of discussions with women professionals in tech, a game design workshop, and a cybersecurity competition, as well as career development skills such as networking and public speaking.
