Tuesday, October 23
6 p.m.

A representative from the FBI will present a session for students – faculty and staff are welcome – on social networks (Facebook, mySpace, and others), cyber-predators, cyber-stalking, and corporate spying related to student research projects.

For more information, visit RUSecure.rutgers.edu or contact Rutgers’ Division of Information Protection and Security at 732-445-8011.
