I received the following targeted e-mail from SANS (Note: I have no affiliation with SANS).
I know that many of us in higher ed participate in SANS training as well as the UNISOG list,
--but-- in the event that you overlooked or missed the following...

SANS is proud to announce two new discount programs for our Teaching
Kits and Awareness Training, available only to educational institutions.
The Intro to Information Security Teaching Kit helps an entry level
person get up to speed and meet the training requirements for the GIAC
Security Fundamentals certification (GISF) and CompTIA's Security+.
Intro to Information Security is available for purchase as part of our
new series of licensed course materials called GIAC Prep. A starter kit
costs $999 (discounted from $3600) and includes six sets of books,
practice exams, rights to use the GIAC Prep Course logo, and a set of
instructor slides. You can purchase additional kits and practice tests
for $250 per student (discounted from $550), making it easy to benefit
from time proven training materials with our simple licensing program
- pay per student/per course. For more information on the teaching kits

SANS Security Awareness Training is new on-line training program to
inform your general user population about the risks that they face and
the simple countermeasures that they can take, regardless of their
technical skills and abilities. Real-life stories illustrate the do's
and don'ts of basic security awareness, and quiz questions are
integrated to reinforce key concepts. A special discount has been put
together just for educational institutions of 500 or more students and
faculty. This discount is being offered to provide an opportunity for
students to learn SANS Security Awareness Training before entering the
job market, and for the faculty who will be teaching our future leaders
of the world. SANS is offering a special rate of $1 per user, a
significant savings from the regular price of $10-$50 per user. To
purchase Awareness Training at the special discounted rate, please write
to securityawareness () sans org with the number of users you are looking
to train in this program.

Please note that this discount is non-transferable and all of the users
must be from an .edu address.

Any abuse of this discount will be cause for termination of this special
offer and non-refundable automatic termination of the accounts.
