Dartmouth Student Wins 2007 Computer Security Awareness Video Contest

Evan Michals, 07, a Dartmouth Student and an employee of the Student Computing Help Desk, won the silver award in the 2007 Computer Security Awareness video contest conducted by the Security Task Force in the 30-second public service category.

The videos were selected as the winning entries for the 2007 Computer Security Awareness Video Contest to raise awareness of and increase computer security at colleges and universities.

The contest sought videos that explain computer security problems and specific actions that college and university students can take to safeguard their computers or personal information. The contest had two categories of videos: two-minute-or-less training or instructional videos, and 30-second public service announcements. The winners' videos, as well as those receiving honorable mention, are available online and are meant to be used in campus security awareness campaigns during student orientation and throughout the year.

In all, there were 56 submissions from 24 colleges and universities.
