Abstract
Campus security, preparedness, and continuity are a growing concern on college and university campuses following the 9/11 terrorist attacks and recent campus shootings. Recognizing that colleges and universities are subject to myriad disruptive incidents (emergency, crisis, or disaster) ranging from natural to man-made events, institutions are using IT implementations to prevent, prepare for, and respond to disruptive incidents. This session will explore the implications of technological convergence and the role of IT in protecting human, physical, and cyber assets. The presenters will provide strategies and solutions for leveraging IT in support of campus security, preparedness, and continuity initiatives.
