In an effort to generate dialogue and enhance open communication, the CIO Roundtable events are held monthly as an opportunity for members of the Colgate community to engage in conversation with Colgate’s interim CIOs on a range of information technology topics. The roundtables are intended to be informal events to consider issues, ask questions and share information about the role of information technology services at Colgate. Each of these roundtable events will take place at Merrill House, and lunch will be provided to those in attendance. Please RSVP to Denise Bolognone (dbolognone@colgate.edu) if you are interested in joining us for any of these conversations.

CyberSecurity (TBD)
Network security, information privacy and protecting an institution’s digital assets remains a vitally important set of issues for all organizations.

Please join us for this conversation to explore questions, and consider the importance of engaging in secure computing practices.
