Webinar: Designing the Flexible Attendance Accommodation for Maximum Effectiveness

On behalf of Disability Resource & Support Center and Title V - HSI Grants

Students with chronic health or mental health conditions that may be unpredictable in nature and could impact the ability to attend classes sometimes request an accommodation generally referred to as “flexible attendance.” How can Disability Resource professionals determine whether this accommodation is appropriate and if so, how to implement it effectively? This webinar will address how facilitating this accommodation requires working toward concrete outcomes rather than relying on generic statements. Explore how this accommodation can be practically designed as a concept, worded in an accommodation letter, and put into practice in collaboration with faculty. Plenty of time for Q&A will be provided.

NEW: InfoSec: Criminals are using OneNote to distribute the notorious Emotet malware.

On behalf of Information Technology Services: Information Security

Criminals are sending emails with OneNote attachments that include the notorious Emotet malware. They are using OneNote to evade defenses. If a user opens a malicious OneNote attachment and enables macros, a DLL will be downloaded and executed that installs the Emotet malware on the device. Once loaded, the malware will steal email contacts and email content for use in future spam campaigns. It will also download other payloads that provide initial access to the corporate network. This access is used to conduct cyberattacks against the company, which could include ransomware attacks, data theft, cyber espionage, and extortion.
