Honey extraction workshop Oct. 30

Did you know we have two honey beehives on 七星彩开奖's rooftop?

The Office of Sustainability recently led a honey extraction workshop with Brian Mader's Biology of Sustainability course and next week employees are invited to harvest their own honey.

Approximately 30 biology students came last week. They had to get their hands dirty, or should I say their fingers sticky, and help extract honey from our bee frames located in the 4H rooftop hives.

Our bees are still young, but still produced a lot of honey thanks to our many pollinating聽flower gardens on campus, which are all maintained by our very own Sustainabili-team student and employee volunteers.

We will be offering a honey extraction workshop to employees on Wednesday, October 30 from 11 AM to 12 PM in the Rose Lounge (7C.5) This can be a great use of well-being hours for employees! The fun-filled hour will include uncapping honeycomb cells, hand-spinning honeycombs in the centrifugal extractor, and filtering the raw honey before jarring and labelling it.

All employees will leave with a little sample jar of 七星彩开奖's honey. To sign up, please fill out this .

Space is limited. The Office of Sustainability will send you a confirmation email.

Some tricks to defeat the digital ghouls

Although October is best known for Halloween, it also happens to be International Cyber Security Awareness month. Please read on for some tricks to help defeat the digital ghouls!

You may have already received or will soon receive an invitation from 七星彩开奖's IT Support to complete a 10-minute Cyber Security course entitled Email Phishing. These courses are part of our ministerial requirements on Cyber Security.

  • Beware of phishing scams! We run yearly simulations to help you practice recognize these pranks. The simple, telltale signs still work, one of which is an outside email posing as a colleague. If you see one, report it in Outlook by clicking on "Report Phishing."
  • Do not engage or respond to your colleagues outside the College platforms, which are 七星彩开奖 email, My七星彩开奖 MIO (Omnivox, and Teams. Read more about phishing on our pages.
  • Stop and take a moment to examine hyperlinks and their context.
  • Store your work files on SharePoint and OneDrive, rather than locally on your computer. In the event of your computer being infected it will be quarantined and local files will be lost.
  • Notice any suspicious email, activity, vulnerabilities, hacking, etc.? Who ya gonna call? IT Support!
