It is hard not to open a news feed/source of any kind and not run into something about cyber security and potentially sweeping vulnerabilities and consequences. Yet this level of profile is not matched by clarity or even an on-going public debate about cyber security at the national level. This is due to a set of complex, overlapping challenges about the nature of cyber security in an open society. This mini-lecture will highlight those challenges and the trade-offs they create for policy makers and the public.
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Attending and sending a student to college can be a time of great pride and excitement, but also a change and challenge that conjures up feelings of loss for students and their family members. When this grief goes unacknowledged, students, parents, and other family members may experience sadness, uncertainty, and loneliness, as well as question their roles and identities in their families. In the face of these challenges, how can family members hold space for feelings of loss that arise during the college years and support one another to enhance student and family thriving? In this interactive session, family members will learn about research that addresses these questions, as well as engage in a creative exercise designed to facilitate reflection and family connection.
11:00 AM – 11:50 AM
