EC-Council University (ECCU) highly values the academic work performed by faculty and students of ECCU, and the contributions this work makes to our societies, both national and international.
In order to recognize these efforts, ECCU has developed both Faculty and Student Awards in several areas to include academic excellence, professional development, creative activity, scholarship, initiative, perseverance, service, and “cutting edge” contributions to the cyber security industry.
Awardees will receive a certificate, publicity across a variety of media, and a free pass to the current Hacker Halted Conference accompanied by discounted hotel rates, and an Awards and Gala Night attendance pass.
Faculty and students of ECCU may self-nominate or be nominated by others; to access the nomination form, please request a link from [email protected].
