Dear Lumberjacks,

This week, we continue with the “Secure Our World” theme by focusing on social media privacy. Your social media accounts may be sharing more information than you realize. Let’s take steps to ensure your personal data remains private and secure.

Action: Review and update your privacy settings on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. We recommend checking out tips from the UK’s National Crime Centre to get started.

Once you’ve secured your accounts, log your progress in this Google Form for a chance to win awesome prizes, including meal coupons and free coffees, generously donated by Cal Poly Humboldt Dining!
