New Managers Training and Data Security--Two Seminars Coming in June
Created by Colleen Luckett (EDUCAUSE) on April 05, 2007
The EDUCAUSE Seminars program, led by expert members of the higher education IT community and EDUCAUSE staff, presents an opportunity to spend a full day exploring one of various important topics in higher education IT, with the convenience of close location, low cost, and minimal time commitment.
The two EDUCAUSE Seminars detailed below will be held concurrently in Columbia, South Carolina, on June 4, 2007, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Those registering for a seminar may wish to forward this message to colleagues who are interested in the seminar topics, so a campus group can attend together.
Those who have recently shifted from a technical IT role on campus to a management position or are planning to do so in the near future will benefit from attending Survival Training for New Managers. In this one-day seminar, Marilu Goodyear, a professor in the Public Administration Department of the University of Kansas, will present the critical basics of the management role, such as how to keep a unit's work aligned with the overarching mission and goals of the institution; how to hire, manage, develop, and motivate staff; and how to manage the demands on personal time and maintain a life balance.
Those looking for new ways to tackle challenging issues created by information security risks at their college or university will benefit from attending A Blueprint for Handling Sensitive Data: Security, Privacy, and Other Considerations. In this one-day seminar, Shirley Payne and Jim Jokl, both directors at the University of Virginia, will outline a blueprint for protecting sensitive data according to the EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Computer and Network Security Task Force. Among the steps to protect sensitive data include implementing an information security risk management program, data-classification policies, awareness programs, and technology solutions, as well as clearly defining roles and responsibilities.
