SharperPoint Webinar - Asset or Anxiety? Leading Slate Through Change
2026-04-30 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Webinar
Even with the best implementation, Slate evolves as staff transition, processes change, and institutional priorities shift. And when your Slate expert gives notice or moves into a new role, that’s when you find out exactly how much knowledge was living in their head.
How do you make sure Slate remains a strategic asset aligned to your mission through transitions? When should you optimize versus stabilize, working through staff change and inherited configurations? We’ll empower you with the right questions to ask and the right frameworks to apply so that remains a strategic asset for enrollment, student success, or advancement rather than a source of anxiety.
Presenters:
Glenn Small, SharperPoint;
Lauren Felter, Vice President Enrollment Technology and Slate Practice, Core.edu
Intended Audience: VPs of Enrollment, Directors of Admissions, VPs of Student Success/Affairs, Directors of Enrollment Systems, and like roles

Creative Information Technology, Inc. Webinar: The Ethics-First Approach to AI Governance in Higher Ed
2026-05-05 11:00 - 12:00
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in teaching, research, admissions, and student services, higher education institutions face a critical question: how can innovation be balanced with responsibility? This webinar explores an ethics-first approach to AI governance—one that places transparency, fairness, accountability, and human oversight at the center of institutional decision-making.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of the ethical risks associated with AI in higher education, including bias in algorithms, data privacy concerns, and the implications of automated decision-making on student outcomes. The session will also highlight practical governance frameworks, policy considerations, and real-world strategies that institutions can adopt to ensure AI systems align with academic values and public trust.
Designed for academic leaders, IT professionals, policymakers, and compliance teams, this webinar will provide actionable insights on building responsible AI practices while still fostering innovation. Attendees will leave with a structured perspective on how to develop, implement, and sustain ethical AI governance models within their institutions.
Presenters: Mo Hasan – AI SME
Intended Audience: Higher ED CIO’s and IT CIO’s

Skyline Technology Solutions Webinar: Beyond the FIrewall: Why the Browser is Your New Perimeter
2026-05-07 09:00 - 10:00
Most organizations don’t realize that the browser is the largest hole in their security posture. This is supported by recent news from Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, where Claude Mythos discovered thousands of unknown vulnerabilities across every major consumer-grade browser.
Students input data into GenAI tools, educators access student data, municipal staff manage infrastructure, and contractors interact with SaaS applications using the browser. This webinar, hosted by Palo Alto Networks, aims to educate the Maryland public sector with the following information:

“How can the browser become the tip of your security strategy, rather than a vulnerability?”
‘With the advent of enterprise browsers, how can I make the browser a strength for users, rather than their biggest weakness?’

Presenters: Bill Polish, Prisma Browser Specialist, Palo Alto Networks; & Rick Fairhurst, Skyline Partner Manager
Intended Audience: K-12 members
