Mission Statement

The MSU Denver Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS) Student Chapter is dedicated to building a welcoming, supportive community at Metropolitan State University of Denver that empowers women and allies to thrive in cybersecurity. We foster education, leadership, mentorship, and meaningful engagement while creating a network of students passionate about protecting and innovating in the digital world.

Our mission is to help close the gender gap in cybersecurity by increasing representation, expanding opportunities, and empowering women to pursue and succeed in cybersecurity careers. Through mentorship, technical skill development, professional networking, industry partnerships, campus collaboration, and hands-on learning experiences, we prepare our members to confidently enter, contribute to, and lead the cybersecurity workforce. Together, we cultivate an environment where every member feels supported, valued, and inspired to make a lasting impact in the field.

Who We Are

This chapter has a great opportunity to be part of the National Organization of Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS). WiCyS is the premier organization with national reach dedicated to bringing women together in cybersecurity from academia, research and industry to share knowledge, experience, networking, and mentoring.  

 MSU Denver’s brand-new WiCyS Chapter is excited to be part of this movement by helping bring the diversity gap in the industry closer together. By allowing this gap to shrink, we are giving more women the opportunity to advance where they have never been able to before.  

If you have the passion for helping our country defend itself from cyber-attacks and supporting the advancement of diversity in the industry, join us by becoming a member!
