Good morning sunshine, it's breakfast time.

We are excited to introduce you to our NACCU 2023 Annual Conference keynote speaker, Dr. Charles Miller.

A former National Security Agency hacker, 4-time winner of Pwn2Own, the “Super Bowl” of computer hacking, and the first to hack both iPhone and Android phones, Dr. Miller gained national attention after he and research partner Chris Valasek hacked a 2014 Jeep Cherokee and took control of the vehicle from more than 10 miles away.

A Principal Autonomous Vehicle Security Architect at Cruise Automation and the former head of the autonomous vehicle security division at Didi Chuxing, Dr. Miller focuses on society’s increasing connectivity and the opportunities it creates for harmful intrusions.

He will take you on a detailed, behind-the-scenes journey to illustrate how hackers exploit vulnerabilities. By providing practical suggestions to improve security and deter dangerous online adversaries, Dr. Miller will help you recognize the gravity of this 21st century issue and walk away with solutions for prevention.

The budget - it's out there and it needs attention. Let's talk about what's tried and true and what we need to do.

Discussion Questions:
1. Where does the funding come from?
2. Have you tried anything unique?
3. Who are your campus supporters?

Access control systems, video surveillance, and emergency notification systems are standard equipment on college campuses. For many schools, these systems were installed separately, over time, and don’t provide a comprehensive, real-time picture of what’s happening. Residence halls present additional layers of complexity related to visitor access and privacy concerns. By modernizing and unifying security technology, campuses can reduce crime in residence halls while protecting individuals’ privacy and helping public safety, resident life, and facilities departments operate more efficiently. This educational session will guide security teams on how to modernize residence hall security for evolving threats and challenges.

Discussion Questions:
1. Are your access control, video surveillance and emergency notification systems integrated to enable a unified view of campus security including residence halls?
2. How do your video surveillance systems protect residents’ and staff privacy? How quickly can you access and view footage in your current system?
3. What are the essentials of a modern campus security strategy and platform?

At this session you will hear from the University of Alberta, Sheridan College and TouchNet and their journey to a mobile onecard. U of A has used a phased approach to moving mobile on their campus of over 45,000 students preparing for a winter 2024 launch. In 2022, Sheridan College was the first College in Canada to launch a fully functional (Student ID) mobile onecard in the Apple Wallet using NFC technology with the TouchNet 360U app. Information shared will highlight a 3-step plan on going mobile. You will hear details on how we prepared for the transition with hardware/software, our mobile assessment, use case scenarios, marketing/change management plan, post launch results, current wins / expected challenges and where we are now.

Discussion Questions:

1. Is your onecard system on-prem or cloud based?
2. What are your biggest obstacles to introducing a mobile onecard?
3. Do you have the right tools for a robust Marketing and Change Management plan?

Our session will consist of discussions that focus on Campus parking from the prospective of two different universities. Each university will share their management style and operations. We will discuss our parking software, permit distribution both virtual and physical, and our enforcement policies and procedures.

We hope this informational session will provide new ideas for other universities that are looking to improve and streamline their parking operations on campus.

Discussion Questions:

Departmental autonomy can bring a host of benefits to any institution by allowing administrators most familiar with their department’s needs to make independent decisions. However, when that independence results in conflicting systems across campus, autonomy can lead to internal silos, to the detriment of students and staff. As communication deteriorates, residents and employees are forced to carry a pocketful of cards to use in disjointed systems while administrators struggle to manage them all. Join us to learn how a true one-card system can help create a cohesive, connected campus that improves the student experience and reduces strain on university resources.

Discussion Questions:

1. What are your biggest pain points caused by disparate systems?
2. Have you implemented any mobile technology to unify systems?
3. Is cost a reason for keeping things as they are now?
4. What departments or decision makers need to come together to unify systems and create a connected campus?

Campus card systems capture a lot of information about what’s happening on your campus. In the last few years, it’s become critical to understand who’s on campus doing what and where. This treasure trove of data holds insights and opportunities but the challenge is knowing where to start and how to use the mountain of data to inform business decisions across campus.

If you’re ready to use your data to drive decisions focused on student success, join Jennifer McNeill from the University of Alberta to hear what data points they’re focused on and how they use it to ensure student wellness, understand facility and space usage, identify cost savings in campus dining halls and more. Also regardless of your card system, Jennifer will offer a clear path to help you develop a consistent process to capture and report data and demonstrate the importance of bringing disparate systems together for a comprehensive view.

Discussion Questions:
1. How and what data do you collect?
2. How do you manage the data you collect?
3. What do you do with this data?
