Financial Services, and the New York Public Interest Research
Group (NYPIRG) will host a "Cyber Street Smart"
forum. The event will include a panel discussion featuring
Dr. Manning and Dr. Francesco from the Business School and
Dr. McQuade from Interdisciplinary Studies, along with a representative
from the Office of the New York State Attorney General. The
forum is apart of the statewide launch of the CyberStreetSmart.org,
an innovative, powerful new website to teach consumers how
to protect themselves against online frauds and scams.
The event will take place in Building 12 room 1135 in the

of the profound changes in the retail banking industry and
their impact on American society at the individual, household,
community and national levels.
