PiRAMA is a proposed modification to Android's permission system that gives users more control over app access to privileged APIs. It introduces a permission manager that assigns apps to categories (Green, Yellow, Red) based on their permissions. This controls API access at runtime based on the category. It aims to provide usage statistics, allow/deny permissions per app, and enforce policies based on the category. However, it requires an OS change and security depends on user discretion rather than analysis of app behavior. Future work could add intelligence through static/dynamic analysis and a central server to identify malware.

This is the inaugural webcast in the Commission for Student Involvement E-Series. This webcast is about the key conversations from the 2012 National Leadership Symposium.
This past year, the focus of the Symposium was on the rigorous design, engaging experiences, and demonstrated results necessary for quality leadership education in our contemporary society. Participants and presenters engaged in a shared reading which served as a collective thread across each session: A New Culture of Learning: Cultivating the Imagination for a World of Constant Change (Thomas & Brown, 2011). Focused on creating frameworks for quality education of students in today’s digital age, the book provided a springboard from which ideas were shared in translating the material to college leadership education.
Webinar participants will hear from the coordinators of this year’s Symposium: David Rosch, an Assistant Professor of Leadership Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, and Marilyn Bugenhagen, an Associate Professor of Leadership at Marian University, as they review some of the highlights and key concepts discussed this past summer.

ideas and personalities and not people

“cookie cutter” robots
• Accept each other for who they are and not what
you want them to be
• Get to know each other (personally and
professionally)

16. The cup is always half-full
• Embrace “problems” and
“frustrations” as learning
and growing opportunities.
• Differences reflect diversity
which is very healthy
• Respect others’ perspectives
on things – you don’t have
to do it “their” way and they
don’t have to do it “your”
way.

17. Things you can do as a team
• Align ends, means, and processes through a strategic plan
• Have fun and socialize a lot with one another (you spend
most of your waking hours at work!)
• Allow similarities and common vision and goals to define
you – not your differences (norm them)
• Individualize your services at the point-of-contact –
listening and talking to them about who they are and not
what they are there for
• Focus on people and not transactions and getting things
done
• Continuously discuss, process, and grow
• “Inspect what you expect.”
• You can’t change people, you can change yourself
