Information and Technology Services (ITS) and the School of Information co-sponsor events to raise awareness, promote best practices, and provoke thought and conversation on privacy topics broadly relevant to our community members and society at large. Events are typically offered as part of a celebration of International Data Privacy Day in January, often extending through the winter semester.
- Keynote speakers from U-M, other academic institutions and influential data privacy organizations share research findings, raise thought-provoking questions, and engage in discourse on topics that shape the data privacy landscape.
- Panel discussions and information sessions bring together U-M community members into direct and open conversation about data privacy concerns and innovative solutions at the university and beyond.
- The Unveil: Student Art Contest challenges U-M students to reflect on ideas and experiences, create original art, and spark important conversations about the intersection of privacy and surveillance, autonomy, individual rights, or civil liberties.
