“Connecting People, Ideas and Solutions Globally” is the motto of the AFCEA student club and AFCEA International. Founded in 2009 by Deree College students, the AFCEA Student Club does not require anything more than the desire for acquiring and ethically exchanging knowledge within local and international academic and professional settings. Our goal is to disseminate knowledge to the Deree community on issues in the domains of: Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Intelligence, Business Continuity, International Relations, and Defense. As a club we strive to continue the intelligence exchange by attending conferences around the world but most importantly, hosting our own Student lead Conferences at Deree.

Furthermore, if it is so indicated by members, a separate presentation of said concepts will be made to explore deeper the implications of said mechanisms. It is also a possibility that some club members might request a specific topic to be discussed and explained. Another important action of the club will be to promote discussions regarding the implications that some theories and constructs might have in everyday life, policy making and legal proceedings. Some indicative topics are the mechanisms of “memory and learning”, “gene editing”, “the existence or not of free-will”. One other endeavor that the club will undertake is to try to organize visits to medical museums, events and talks, with the possibility of requesting from our college for the invitation of professionals in the field of behavioral neuroscience. Two other possibilities that are mentioned in the end, because they will depend on the interest and willingness of the members is the publication of a science communication journal summarizing the most important papers which the club has come across and conducting research on a topic of behavioral neuroscience.
