This is very interesting.

How do you encourage students to attend these sessions?  Is attendance
good?  Any thoughts to (or are you) doing these during mandatory floor
meetings?

Hello,

I started a student-centric security awareness program three years ago,
staffed by student assistants (SAC's--Student Awareness Coordinators).
They conduct presentations in the dorms and on campus, distribute media
materials, etc.  They also created a web site last year that is going to
be further developed after I hire this year's SAC's...  We warn students
about the general alerts where an outside address is attempting
connections to ports on their systems.  It's a challenge to educate them
to the point where they understand and know how to effectively make use
of the capabilities of the firewall.

How are you educating/dealing with residents regarding the Alerts that
Zone Alarm gives off?  We've had a few residents with Zone Alarm ask us
what to do about the 500 alerts they receive each day.
