Student Focus Group: 

Shaping AI & Cybersecurity Competencies at Pima 

We are seeking students to share about AI and cybersecurity skills in an informal focus group. We want to hear from students about the AI and cybersecurity skills that matter most for success in college, work, and everyday life.

If you are available, please let us know if you can join an informal one-hour virtual focus group on May 1 at 9 am. If that time does not work for you but you are still interested, please share other days and times that would. In the focus group, you will be invited to talk about your experiences, what you have noticed, and what skills you think students need related to AI and cybersecurity. Thank you!
