EDUCAUSE convened “The Role of Information Technology in Campus Security and Emergency Management,” an invitation-only summit August 17–18 for IT professionals, facilities managers, law enforcement, and other campus leaders to explore how communications and information technologies can be leveraged to address campus security and emergency preparedness.
A principal goal of the summit was to collect a growing body of knowledge on effective, integrated security and emergency management environments for campuses and the community and to encourage collaboration for future projects and innovations in this area.
The results of the EDUCAUSE summit will be showcased this fall at the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference in Orlando and will be shared through other association events and future publications.
