Hello fellow ACUPA members. I'm writing to just give you a little heads-up about a program we do at Cornell. It's coming up very soon (September 11-12), and I thought you might like to know about it-as a complement to the ACUPA conference in Orlando-or as a valuable seminar in its own right.
It's Cornell's Policy Development Program, and it's a concentrated day and a half of collaboration, support, and learning, mostly for institutions at the beginning stages of centralized policy. Over the thirteen years we've been doing this program, we have had attendees from all over the world. Many of them have found Cornell's fall program to be extremely valuable for their institutions. In fact, many of the most active members of ACUPA today were attendees at the Cornell seminar when their policy initiatives were just beginning, or when they were facing challenges. This year, I am excited to repeat a "write your own policy statement" workshop on the afternoon of the first day. In addition, our Director of IT Security will be speaking to us about some of the most "front and center" IT policy issues at institutions of higher learning. I know it's a bit last-minute, but we'd love to have a few more attendees. It's a very affordable program, and has been useful to a large number of colleges, universities, and other entities.
