Online Safety...At What Price?  A Conversation with Kathryn Kosmides

Several centers at Bentley are partnering to bring a major talk to campus in Spring 2024.  You'll hear from Kathryn Kosmides, founder and CEO of Garbo, a tech nonprofit trying to make online dating safer.

This event is being brought in partnership with Bentley's Center for Women in Business, Entrepreneurship Hub, and Center for Business Ethics.  We expect a great turnout in Wilder Pavilion on April 11 at 4pm.  You can attend in person without registering, or register to attend online using this link.

In the late 1990s, Congress mandated that States gather data on their homeless communities to be eligible for federal funding from Department of Housing and Urban Development for homeless services. As a result, Homeless Management Information Systems were established. This talk will look at HMIS data, what it reflects (and what it does not reflect), and how data impacts policy, funding, and an individual's journey through homelessness.

Undergraduate students in any data-related major may be interested in the event shown to the right.  CADS is not running this event, but wants to draw your attention to it because of its value to students considering a DA major or related studies, and because of the quality we always get from events run by the Pulsifer Career Services Center.  Check it out, and register using this Handshake link.
