“Recently, I had the pleasure of inviting Kevin, an industry advisory board member at Kennesaw State University, to speak to our engineering students in a lunch-and-learn session. During his talk, Kevin shared his valuable life experience and insight into the IT security industry. He also offered practical advice on the skills and qualities that are essential for career success, regardless of the student's chosen path. Kevin shared his struggles with Eagle Syndrome and how he persistently looked for a cure for his condition. His determination and positivity were a testament to the power of resilience, and his story is inspiring and left a lasting impression on me and the students in attendance. Here is where you can find Kevin's journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik2GonNOahw”
