Tune In Nov. 5: Erv Blythe on IT Lessons from Virginia Tech

Created by Elisa Coghlan (EDUCAUSE) on October 30, 2007

Tune in November 5 for a talk with Erv Blythe, vice president for information technology at Virginia Tech. During this hour-long, free EDUCAUSE Live! Web seminar, Blythe will discuss the IT-related lessons the university has learned from the tragic shootings that took place on campus this past spring, including:

  • The impact on the university's communication system
  • The notification issue
  • Radio communications interoperability
  • The complex logistics of accommodating the communications infrastructure and control center needs for a variety of emergency responders and law enforcement
  • Identity management and privacy
  • Data preservation and computer forensics

He will also consider overarching federal, state, and local policy issues and ways in which the university has managed them.
