The Commonwealth Cyber Initiative Southwest Virginia Node (CCI SWVA) supports hundreds of graduate and undergraduate students working in labs, internships, or training programs across southwest Virginia. These experiences give students the opportunity to get "hands on" with applied cybersecurity or cybersecurity research, imparting highly specialized knowledge and skills that prepare students to meet the growing demand for cybersecurity talent in the commonwealth and beyond.
The 2026 CCI SWVA Student Researcher Showcase is an opportunity for students to present their ongoing research projects and share their methods and results to-date, and to compete for the three awards for exceptional posters!
All posters will be presented electronically; printed posters are not required. Posters should adhere to the poster format for the statewide CCI Symposium; the template is provided below. Students are encouraged to present at the Symposium (April 13-14, 2026 in Richmond, VA) for double the research impact! Please reach out to maboswell@vt.edu for information regarding the statewide symposium.
Please register for this 2026 CCI SWVA Student Research Showcase no later than Friday, March 20, 2026.
