This presentation introduces a scalable approach for integrating GenAI ethics, responsible tool use, and cybersecurity governance into a graduate-level cybersecurity project management course. The strategy supports students with diverse technical backgrounds by emphasizing academic integrity, iterative improvement, and ethical AI fluency. Key components include assignment scaffolding and feedback loops; integration of GenAI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, GrammarlyGO); alignment with EDUCAUSE AI principles and NIST frameworks; and rubric-based writing support with APA citation reinforcement.
