The Privacy Finals

Hey Everyone,

We hope you are enjoying the space between midterms and finals to the best of your ability. We know this is a daunting time, but do not fret, for we are in this together.

Privacy CLE: Data Breach Handling:

Come and experience first hand what privacy experts experience after a data breach occurs. How do you protect yourself and the company? We have panelists Professor Lawrence Montle, Chad Rosenthal, Director and Associate General Counsel of Privacy and Digital Platforms at LG Electronics, and Kahini Ranade, Assistant General Counsel at the New York City Office of Technology & Innovation. There is Halloween candy available for attendees. This is a great opportunity not only to learn, but to network and hear from experts in the privacy space.
