Speaker notes by audience
Focus on belonging
“There is more than one route through SOTE. You can support users, build infrastructure, defend systems, or create software tools.”
Focus on impact
“Students are not just hearing lectures. They are building evidence of real skills before graduation.”
Focus on readiness
“The output is not just coursework. It is documented troubleshooting, teamwork, technical communication, and proof of work.”
Tour safety notes
Do not discuss passwords, production credentials, sensitive internal IPs, real vulnerabilities, private student information, unapproved screenshots, or anything that would expose CCAC systems. Keep the tour public-safe and story-driven.
