<h2 style="text-align: left; padding-left: 1em">History</h2>

<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 2em">
  In 2018, the Security Practices And Research Student Association (SPARSA) and
  RIT Competitive Cybersecurity Club (RC3) merged to become RITSEC. As a result,
  the security community at RIT became more unified as the major and industry
  grew.
