Dr.InfoSec on Making a difference

As a faculty member, one of my hopes is that I can make a difference in the lives of the students that I get to have in class. A former student, now clearly on his way to a successful career in Information Security, said to me just this week: "I probably wouldn't be in this field [infosec] if not for your classes."

Getting to see this student mingle with various infosec professionals and knowing that I had something to do with it is its own reward.
