A cyber safety awareness session focuses on educating participants, especially students, about safe online practices to protect themselves from potential cyber threats. The session covers essential topics like safeguarding personal information, recognizing phishing and scams, understanding privacy settings, and learning the importance of strong passwords.

Art and literature can be seen as extensions of the human mind. Very often they can reveal what lies within, sometimes visibly, and, sometimes, not quite so visibly. The movie club is (we hope) a fun way of looking deeper into the emotions, perceptions and thoughts that weave human relationships together or tear them apart. A movie may be treated as a true story or, alternatively, can be used as a tool to try and figure out what went on in the directors head when the movie was made. Either way, it’s a different way of understanding human behavior and relationships. In the end, by looking deeper into another’s story, we hope, perchance, to understand ourselves better.
