Dakota State University has increased female students in its Beacom College of Computer and Cyber Sciences programs by over 300% in the last 5 years. Work in this field is through the college’s CybHER @ DSU program, whose mission is to empower, motivate, educate, and change the perception of girls and women in cybersecurity. By providing resources for girls from middle school through collegiate programs and into professional careers, CybHER helps women foster positive and encouraging relationships within this industry through original and curated content that educates and motivates women. Ultimately, the goal is to increase diversity by introducing more girls to cybersecurity, who will then transition to women in collegiate programs, and finally highly trained professionals.
