Interactive Cybersecurity Workshops

Join us for a series of short workshops about Cybersecurity as a part of our ongoing Wellness Series here at the library. USM students of Lori Sussman Ed.D. (alongside Graduate Assistant, Nathan Clark) will be offering four interactive 15-minute workshops that cover Phishing Awareness, Identity Theft Prevention, Social Media Safety, and Everyday Home Cyber Safety. Wellness isn’t just about mental and physical health. We need to know how to take care of our own safety online as well.
