Words from the Chair...
Staff Recognition Week is fast approaching
and the council is busy with preparations. Once again we will be saving
money by having our luncheon at an off-site facility. One might argue
that money leaving the University is not well spent, but worse in my opinion
is paying too much for fewer food choices and most importantly, no dessert.
On a personal note, keep an eye out for e-mail claiming to be from your
bank or internet service provider. Criminals will often send out e-mails
that look legitimate, and claim that your account information needs to
be updated. When you go to the legitimate looking site to "update"
your account information you are really giving criminals your personal
data. This recently happened to a relative of mine, he blissfully gave
out his credit card number, name, home address, social security number,
and checking account number. Only after calling his account provider to
make sure that they got everything they needed, did he realize that criminals
did indeed get everything THEY needed. No legitimate business will out
of the blue ask you for this information. My advice... be skeptical.
