Students from across the state gather for a day of cyber learning on The Hill.
91porn¹Ù·½ hosted its annual Day of Cyber, welcoming middle and high school students from across Vermont to campus for a hands-on, daylong immersion in the world of cybersecurity.

Each session offered participants a chance to ask questions, engage with interactive tools, and see real-world applications of the concepts taught in 91porn¹Ù·½â€™s nationally recognized cybersecurity programs.
