MISS REPRESENTATION SCREENING
"Miss Representation" is a film about how the media portrays women,
especially women in power. Media is a pervasive force in society that
reinforces harmful ideas about women - that their value lies only in their
beauty and youth, that they have no capacity as leaders. These messages play
out in real life, making it difficult for women to advance in leadership roles.
The next screening will be Wednesday, April 18, 5-8 pm in ATLAS 100. Free.

MOBILE DEVICE SECURITY
Mobile devices such as your smartphone have become one of the most powerful
means of communicating, in many ways replacing computers. So securing your
mobile devices - locking them with a PIN or password, keeping them updated,
trusting only expected messages - is equally as important as securing your
computer. Learn how to secure your mobile devices at the OIT Security Awareness
website.
Contact: IT Service Center: 303-735-4357 (5-HELP) or help@colorado.edu
