<Title>Reflecting on Data Privacy Week at UMBC</Title>
<Tagline>Dr. Laura Mateczun on building a culture of trust</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>While many of us have been busy digging out from the snow
    and trying to stay warm, this week, January 26–30, is <em><strong>Data Privacy Week</strong></em>.
    This international effort empowers individuals and organizations to respect
    privacy, safeguard data, and enable trust. For me, the timing prompted an
    important moment of reflection on the work I have been fortunate to be part of
    over the past two years, and on where UMBC is headed as we continue to build a
    mature, thoughtful, and values-driven approach to privacy.</p>
    
    <h3>From Research to Implementation</h3>
    
    <p>My name is Dr. Laura Mateczun, and my privacy work at UMBC
    began as a Ph.D. graduate assistant working with Vice President for Information
    Technology and Chief Information Officer, Jack Suess, on the implementation of
    Maryland's Higher Education Data Privacy Law during FY24, while I was
    completing my doctoral research. In April 2025, I successfully defended my
    dissertation and was conferred my Ph.D., and shortly thereafter, joined UMBC
    full-time in a hybrid role.</p>
    
    <p>Today, I serve in two key roles: </p>
    
    <ul>
     <li>
    <strong>Assistant
         Director of Digital Trust:</strong> Within the Division of IT's Cybersecurity
         Assurance &amp; Digital Trust team, led by CISO Stacy Cahill, I focus
         primarily on privacy strategy.</li>
     <li>
    <strong>Assistant
         Director of the UMBC Cybersecurity Institute:</strong> I develop partnerships
         to expand cybersecurity initiatives and research. In this role, I also
         direct the <strong>UMBC Cybersecurity Clinic</strong>, an experiential learning
         program where students help public-sector organizations—such as water
         systems and electrical grids—strengthen their cyber defenses.</li>
    </ul>
    
    <h3>Milestones in Transparency</h3>
    
    <p>One of our most significant privacy milestones has been the
    launch of <strong>privacy.umbc.edu</strong>. We intentionally designed this site to be
    more than just a compliance requirement. It is a living resource for our
    community. It explains how data is used, protected, and governed at UMBC in
    clear, accessible language. While we drew inspiration from peer institutions,
    including the University of Michigan, the content is uniquely tailored to
    reflect UMBC's culture, values, and operational realities.</p>
    
    <h3>The Path Ahead</h3>
    
    <p>Looking forward, our vision extends far beyond a single
    website or law. Alongside Stacy Cahill and partners across campus, we are
    working to embed privacy into everyday decision-making. This will impact how we
    procure new systems and how we share and eventually retire data.</p>
    
    <p><strong>Our goals include:</strong></p>
    
    <ul>
     <li>Strengthening
         privacy governance and transparency.</li>
     <li>Supporting
         responsible research and innovation.</li>
     <li>Helping
         students and staff understand their vital role in protecting data.</li>
    </ul>
    
    <p>We also launched UMBC's <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/itsecurity/posts/155942" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>new
    cybersecurity newsletter</strong></a>, which highlights important developments in
    cybersecurity and privacy, shares timely tips and resources, and spotlights
    work across campus that helps us all protect data and manage risk. If you're
    interested in staying informed about privacy and cybersecurity efforts at UMBC,
    I encourage you to <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/itsecurity" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">subscribe</a>.</p>
    
    <h3>A Commitment to Stewardship</h3>
    
    <p>Data Privacy Week is a reminder that privacy is not a
    one-time project. It is an ongoing commitment to trust, stewardship, and
    accountability. I am grateful to be part of a community that takes this work
    seriously, and I am excited about where UMBC is headed as we continue to grow
    our privacy program in the years ahead.</p>
    
    <p>For more information about UMBC's privacy efforts, I
    encourage you to visit <a href="http://privacy.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>privacy.umbc.edu</strong></a>,
    and to follow the work of the <a href="https://cybersecurity.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC
    Cybersecurity Institute</a> as we continue to advance security and privacy in
    service of our campus and the broader public.</p>
    <p><strong><br></strong></p>
    <p><strong>Dr.
         Laura Mateczun</strong></p>
    
    <p>Associate Director of Digital Trust</p>
