Legacy
This year, LBCSI celebrates its thirteenth anniversary. The Loyola Blakefield Cyber Science Initiative has given many students everlasting memories and effective opportunities, as well as expanding into a community reaching far beyond high school. With well over a hundred members, the club has continued fostering interest in cyber science through yearly outreach and rapid development. The leadership team’s hard work and commitment has kept production running smoothly, especially during Cyber Patriot and LBC2 season. This year marks the eighth LBC2 competition.
LBCSI is a student run initiative and directed by Steve Morrill, Head of Technology & Cyber Science at Loyola Blakefield. He has been at the school for seventeen years and started the club along with just a few other students back in 2011. With his dedication and mentorship, the club has expanded to what it is today, and without him, none of this would exist.
