Poverty Simulation Volunteers Needed

|

Please consider volunteering for an upcoming Poverty Simulation scheduled for Friday, February 23rd. Poverty Simulations are an educational experience for both volunteers and participants, and they truly take a village to accomplish. Help students learn about the challenges people in poverty face in their daily lives. No experience is required, and multiple roles are needed. Learn more and sign up to volunteer here: https://uthsc.givepulse.com/event/432703. (Log in with your UTHSC credentials.) Interested in having your class participate in a poverty simulation? Email Jess Guthrie to learn more about upcoming opportunities!

Cybersecurity Tip of the Week – Downloading Unapproved Software

|

Be cautious about downloading third-party antivirus applications and software. Many times, when you download a new application, the manufacturer “bundles” other downloads with it. A lot of the time, unless you uncheck some boxes, they automatically download. This disrupts our CarbonBlack and sends alerts for unauthorized software.

Be cautious of downloading ANY software or applications that can harm your device and our network.
