Re: How to reach college students about security?

[Ric Getter <ric.getter () PCC EDU>]

You may want to take a look at some videos we created for students and
staff (http://www.pcc.edu/about/events/cyber-security/) for cyber-security
month. They were written by a guy (me) who had just drifted back into media
production after a stretch in IT. (I also did a lot of corporate video work
in Silicon Valley way back when.) There's a fourth about mobile device
security (https://youtu.be/eKvlvnVR9Tc) that didn't quite make the cut for
public release.
