Bon Varlet says she inherited her mother’s grit and determination.

The standout Kennesaw State University graduate majored in information technology and recently earned a Fulbright Study Award to pursue information security research at KU Leuven in Belgium.

For “Closer Look’s” Class of 2025 graduation series, Varlet spoke with host Rose Scott about how the 2023 cyberattack at The British Library inspired her to want to explore cybersecurity vulnerabilities in public institutions, particularly libraries, archives, and research centers.

Varlet further discussed her academic journey and aspirations to attend law school with Scott.
