During the 2022 Spring semester at NJIT, I gathered like-minded students to address a glaring lack in student organizations: There was no club dedicated specifically to the students who were looking to grow as professionals interested in Information Security & Cybersecurity.

With an initial cohort of 5 members, we began to lay out the foundations of our organization.  We met multiple times during the summer break to establish a framework that would help our organization succeed. Multiple members of the Student Senate and school administration had informed us that it would take anywhere from 4 months to one year to be recognized officially as a club.

By the third week of the semester,  the NJIT Information & Cybersecurity Club (NICC) was formed, officially recognized, and boasting around 50 members.  During the first and second semester I have served as the President of NICC - coordinating with my Executive Board to accomplish many of the goals we set out for ourselves.

As of 2025, NICC boasts over 500 members and continues to grow, semester after semester.
