UMass Amherst is transforming how we manage digital identity. Join UMass Amherst IT for a thought-provoking conversation featuring keynote speaker Mary Mckee, Vice President of Engineering at Cirrus Identity and IAM visionary with 20+ years in higher education.

From sharing a file, to checking your grades or your retirement status, identity management has a meaningful impact on every member of the UMass community. We'll discuss fundamentals of identity access management (IAM) in personal and organizational terms, from protecting your digital identity in the modern world, to effectively leveraging UMass Amherst's new IAM initiative to foster a more unified, inclusive campus environment.
