Cybersecurity is everyone’s concern whether at the research bench, in the classroom, or in your own personal email and social media accounts. Join us on April 8 for “Cybersecurity and You: Issues in Higher Education and Beyond.”

Keynote Speakers:  Our morning and afternoon keynote speakers, Joe St. Sauver, PhD, and Alessandro Acquisti, PhD, will explore the subject from two different perspectives.
