“BE SECURITY CONSCIOUS” COMPLETES
OUTREACH INITIATIVE AT WAL-MART

 The BSC cyber security awareness campaign extended beyond our college community by conducting educational programs for elementary school children and their parents in the Moakley Auditorium, as well as for shoppers at the Raynham Super Wal-Mart.

 Parents and teachers were surprised to see how universal traveling the internet highway was amongst the Burnell fourth, fifth and sixth graders. It was an awakening in which those present joined Principal Gloria Stanton in requesting more training opportunities for the adults and educational programs for the students. The guests (Bridgewater Police Officer Jack Hobson, Assistant District Attorney Mary Lee and F.B.I. Special Agent C.J. Sperber) offered to help in any future collaborative with the college and Burnell. The teachers expressed interest in forging developments with the Moakley TV Studio for better educational tools that might be produced by elementary school children for elementary school children.

 Hazel Suero, a production assistant at the Moakley TV Studio and her supervisor, Arthur Slotnick spent part of their Friday meeting with the customers and employees of the Raynham Super Wal-Mart. They provided handouts and conducted discussions on issues related to Identity Theft and Safe On-Line Practices. Everyone was appreciative of the information and the interest the college has in the community.

 Awareness is an every day task, which is why we have promoted the notion of the “Daily Crunch.” If you need information on cyber security or are interested in some of our student/staff produced public service announcements, please visit http://it.bridgew.edu/security.
