*****************************************************************

* Are you concerned about appropriate access to electronic resources
  and anticipate the need to revisit your campus authentication
  processes?
* Do your faculty and students use online course resources that are
  developed and offered by other institutions?
* Do your researchers collaborate with external colleagues or need to
  manage others' access to project data?

Attend the CAMP workshop, "Charting Your Authentication Roadmap,"
February 7-9, in Tempe, Arizona, to learn more about how to position
your campus authentication and related identity management processes to
support secure access when working with sister institutions, research
collaborators and other external partners, industry, and the federal
government. Read more about the program scope at
