Since SANS training on information security awareness began, individuals have e-mailed RITE asking for resources for their families or for teaching. You can use any of the material used in previous Daily Bulletin announcements; just enter "Information Security Awareness" in the Daily's search feature. The Federal Trade Commission has a site for educators and parents, called OnGuardOnline, which is being revamped with even more resources. And a resource section on the RITE Information Security website is coming soon.

Guest speaker Mikolaj Bauer is a fashion industry professional who has been assigned to Buffalo State to encourage students to participate and will be available to answer questions.

Eligible students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and cannot be graduating before May 2018.

Scholarship winners are also provided with an industry mentor, special internship opportunities, networking opportunities, and a trip to New York City in January to participate in the scholarship gala dinner to mix and mingle with industry insiders such as Vera Wang, Jessica Simpson, Michael Strahan, Martha Stewart, and Alber Elbez. Please encourage your students to attend this information session.

The Buffalo State Theater Department presents Circle: Dance in the Round, a modern dance performance choreographed by Buffalo State dance faculty, April 25–29 in the Savage Building's Flexible Theatre.

Circle: Dance in the Round presents exciting challenges for the choreographers and dancers. Concert dance is traditionally presented on a proscenium stage with an audience in front; therefore, an in-the-round presentation requires the choreography to respond to the space differently. The symbolic meaning of the circle is far-reaching and profound, and each choreographer discovered his or her own way of expressing the concept of the circle: the infinite nature of energy, the inclusivity of the universe, the dance circle as it reflects community, and the emphasis on the featured work within its contoured border. We invite you to personally explore its meaning and come full circle in your own awareness of its symbolic importance.

Preview on Tuesday, April 25, at 8:00 p.m. (open to Buffalo State students; bring student ID). Performances April 26–29 at 8:00 p.m.; matinee on Saturday, April 29, at 2:00 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased at the Rockwell Hall Box Office, by phone at 878-3005, or online.
