We would like to invite all faculty/educators and students to participate in IBM University Day on Friday, November 9, (8:30 AM - 12:15 PM) at the IBM Employee Activity and Fitness Center in RTP, NC. Twice each year, RTP CAS sponsors IBM University Day, as an opportunity to bring together the IBM NC research/development/services and local/regional academic communities. One goal is to allow the universities to inform the local IBM community of ongoing projects, new developments and opportunities for collaboration (highlighting skills and strengths, etc.) - and vice versa - hopefully helping to launching new projects. Another goal is to bring future employees (students) together with prospective employers (IBM managers and recruiters) - with a student poster as one very effective approach in advertising one's self. The event consists of three tracks: main hall presentations throughout the entire day, parallel back room workshops and meetings, and poster sessions and tables/booths in the hallways.
This spring, the theme of IBM University Day will be "Cybersecurity". NC Associate Vice Chancellor Dennis Kekas, will provide an overview of the many cybersecurity-related research initiatives underway at the campus, while IBM Vice President Marisa Viveros will provide a corresponding overview of research and development activities being performed by IBM Research and development in the same area.
The rest of the day's agenda will be comprised of a series of presentations on cybersecurity-, privacy-, etc. related research being performed by the faculty and researchers at several of our local universities.
Backroom workshops and tables/booths will be sponsored by several important IBM university relations programs. IBM recruiters will be present to speak with students. Representatives from the IBM Academic Initiative will also be available to discuss its many program benefits, including the availability of most of the IBM software catalogue for use in teaching and research, absolutely free. And leaders of the IBM Cloud Academy (which collaborates with universities around cloud computing) will also be there.
Therefore, please reserve the date, and encourage your fellow faculty and students to attend. Feel free to forward this announcement to others in your department, college or university (both faculty and students).
The agenda and directions are given immediately below. Contact Andy Rindos ([log in to unmask]) with any questions, as well as to submit a poster or register for the event.
