The Anne Frank Project invites members of the campus community to submit proposals for AFP 2017: Sharing Stories/Connecting Communities, the ninth annual social justice festival, which will be held October 3 and 4. AFP’s annual festival is an experiential exchange of ideas with a focus on processing theory into practice. We seek performances, workshops, and exhibits that actively engage participants in kinesthetic learning opportunities that

• explore the AFP 2017 theme;
• teach tools and vocabulary for community-building, conflict resolution, and identity exploration;
• embrace the life and writing of Anne Frank;
• explore a diverse array of disciplines, cultures, and viewpoints.

Proposals are due July 1. All applicants will be contacted by mid-July. Please submit proposals using the AFP 2017 proposal form.

About Our Theme
Our increasingly divisive world is actually the product of a small number of powerful communities rather than the multiple diverse groups of people whose stories are often silenced by oppression, or simply unknown. AFP 2017 encourages presenters and participants to surface these marginalized communities, navigate their difficulties, address conflicts, disassemble assumptions, and practice sharing stories to connect communities and improve the world.

For more information about the proposal process and the Anne Frank Project, please visit the AFP Social Justice Festival website.

Questions? Ideas? Please contact Eve Everette, assistant director of AFP.

In March, RITE posted a Daily Bulletin message about the Have I Been Pwned website, a free resource that allows Internet users to check whether their personal data has been compromised by data breaches. Troy Hunt founded and maintains the site as a public service.

Here's an example of how it works:

You used your Buffalo State e-mail address to sign up for a Dropbox account. Dropbox suffers a data breach. Your account is affected. When Dropbox releases information on the breach, Troy Hunt posts the affected e-mail addresses on Have I Been Pwned. If your e-mail address is there, you need to change all account passwords associated with that e-mail address. In this example, it would be Dropbox and Buffalo State passwords that need to be changed.

If you used your Hotmail e-mail address to sign up for Dropbox and that e-mail shows up on Have I Been Pwned, you need to change your password on any account for which you used your Hotmail e-mail address to sign up. Get it?

Go to Have I Been Pwned and type in your various e-mail addresses one at a time to see if you have been compromised. If you have, change all passwords associated with that e-mail address. Read about the site, and about Troy Hunt, on the Have I Been Pwned website.
