Dr. Ali, Director of the WVSU Cybersecurity and Innovation Center, had a great time speaking with students at Braxton County Middle School and High School. It was encouraging to see so many young students interested in cybersecurity as a career, and of course, Ben-Ben, WVSU’s very own robot dog, was a hit with everyone.

Thanks again to Braxton County Schools for hosting us!
