Civic and Community Engagement
Alternative Service Break Program Information Meeting on Wednesday, October 6
We're excited to begin planning for 2021-2022 Alternative Service Break experiences!

The Alternative Service Break (ASB) program is a unique learning experience in which students engage in direct service to a community while being immersed in the culture. Teams are led by student team-leaders and accompanied by faculty or staff advisors.

Each team spends extensive time prior to travel doing team-building, planning for their experience, and studying the scope of their impact in the communities they will engage with. Throughout their travels, team members participate in a variety of cultural, educational, recreational, and reflective activities to enhance their service experience.

There will be an information meeting on Wednesday, October 6 from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom. You can access the Zoom link here.

Events and Activities
“Who’s Calling? Understanding the Scourge of Robocalls” Keynote Address on October 6
In celebration of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October, NC State’s Office of Information Technology will sponsor “Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart” to increase the awareness and prevention of security threats.

Brad Reaves, an assistant professor in the NC State Department of Computer Science, will present the keynote address, “Who's Calling? Understanding the Scourge of Robocalls,” from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 6 online.

Telephone subscribers in the U.S. are inundated by frequent unsolicited calls known as robocalls, and this is arguably one of the greatest cybersecurity issues facing people today. In this talk, Reaves will explain how and why the robocall problem became so significant, how NC State research reveals how these robocallers operate, and what is being done to put an end to the problem.

There will be an opportunity to win great prizes, including an Apple Watch. This event is free and open to the public.
