Cybersecurity Awareness Training<https://click.contact.uoregon.edu/?qs=bc633170e5bec53be2510d18d35d3279a8d9b1934b6821e678646b6e57a01e9ee921c2e6e4ac82f43bd0972b3ffc78a198136ca6cee84eee9c2a8df713ee81a1>: Required for All Employees
The University of Oregon is committed to fortifying the university's defenses against cyberattacks. An educated, informed, and alert community is an important line of defense. We are committed to protecting you and the university to the greatest extent possible.

Information Services is launching a new cybersecurity training that must be completed by all faculty and staff.

The training is available on a new Secure-U Training platform and takes about 20 minutes to complete.

We appreciate your time spent taking the training, examining related resources, and thinking about how to make UO's digital spaces safer and protecting the university against cyberattacks.

SAIL Program<https://fyp.uoregon.edu/sail>
Each summer the COE and many departments on campus participate in the SAIL program (Student Academy to Inspire Learning) which brings high school students to campus to acclimate them to the idea of going to college.  The program focuses on low-income, first generation, diverse or underrepresented students.  They spend a week learning about how to apply to college, tips for essay writing, and financial aid available to them.  Each student chooses a major to focus on and a portion of that week is spent with instructors from that major.

We are looking for an instructor from EDST, FHS, CDS, and SPED to each provide a one-hour session to these students on Wednesday, July 16.  As these are high energy high school students ranging from first years to seniors, the programming should only be about ¼ lecture with the other ¾ being experiential in some way, allowing them to engage with the material or each other and helping them learn about the College of Education.   If you are interested in representing us in the important program, please contact the Dean's office (educationdean at uoregon.edu<mailto:educationdean at uoregon.edu>) with a cc to Lisa Fortin (lfortin at uoregon.edu<mailto:lfortin at uoregon.edu>) by March 15, 2025. Thank you!
