Security
issues related to computers and networking
are often thought to be significant only
for personal and other sensitive institutional
data. However, researchers should be as
concerned about the impact on their research:
systems being affected by viruses and intrusions
as well as potential premature disclosure
of research data and conclusions. This session
will provide a brief overview of technology
security issues and some effective ways
to defend research operations. Audience:
faculty and staff. Level: basic.

University
A
desire to understand others and an ability
to listen lie at the heart of mentoring
and being mentored. Good mentoring requires
time and an open mind. Mentoring differs
from teaching or coaching because it focuses
on maturation of wisdom in an individual,
rather than acquisition of skills and competencies.
Audience: faculty, staff, and anyone involved
in the conduct of research. Level: basic
and more advanced. |
