Real Clients, Real Stakes: Building Cyber Leaders in
summary
Student-run cyber clinic at UNLV runs 365 days a year, gives no-cost security assessments to small businesses, and organizes by defined officer roles (project coordinator, training manager, junior member coordinator) so students lead client acquisition by canvassing shopping centers and perform care level one assessments, then optionally remediate at care level two. The clinic doubles membership (30 in first year), documents SOPs for quality control, issues real reports clients read, helps students earn certifications and a CyberCorps SFS scholarship, and faces trust and time-management tradeoffs.
