Rider University’s Center for Business Forensics will host a free interactive presentation focusing on the major issues surrounding identity theft and fraud on Wednesday, Sept. 30, from 7 to 9 p.m. on the Lawrenceville campus, 2083 Lawrenceville Road.
This public event will be led by Dr. J. Drew Procaccino, associate professor of Computer Information Systems at Rider. Procaccino has researched identity theft, biometrics and smart card technologies.

A Q&A session will follow the presentation. A free informative handout will be available.
