VIRGINIA CYBER SIGNING DAY
Virginia Cyber Signing Day 2023
Virginia Cyber Signing Day is back for a second year! This student recognition is similar to signing day for athletes graduating from high school and signing on to play a sport at a college or university. We believe graduating high school students pursuing careers or further education in the cyber field are worthy of such recognition.
The Virginia Cyber Signing Day was inspired by the National Cyber Signing Day, an annual event at the NICE K12 Cybersecurity Education Conference hosted by iKeepSafe.

Five students will be recognized at this year's Virginia Cybersecurity Education Conference. Nominations are due March 31.
