Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Conference Program Committee



The Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Conference Program Committee brings together information security and privacy professionals, IT staff, and others from across the higher education community. The program committee works together from the initial program planning stages through on-site conference support and develops the themes, organization, and content for the conference. Program committee members are selected each winter through the EDUCAUSE Volunteer Interest Form.
