"Safety Month" is an FAU-wide program of activities and information on healthy lifestyles, personal property security, CPR, defensive driving, fire prevention, alcohol and drug abuse, date rape, and hurricane preparedness and recovery.

The program, which is held every September, offers students the possibility to attend different events and activities on all the campuses of the university.

This year, OIT-BCS joined the Broward campuses' activities with a presentation entitled "Electronic and Social Networking Safety." The presentation, prepared and delivered by Technical Services Manager Ivan Aristizabal, took place on Thursday, September 23 on the Davie campus. It was broadcast via the university's videoconference system to the other FAU campuses.

Ivan discussed how users should protect themselves when using online social networking sites. If you missed the presentation, it is available on the Safety Month Web site. Photos of the event are available at OIT-BCS Facebook Web site.
