It is somehow already the first week of May, and summer is just around the corner. Hopefully your summer plans consist of a lighter workload, time spent in the water (or near the water, if that is what you prefer), a little bit of a tan (with SPF, of course), and some more free time to review the data you have been slowly accumulating over the course of your career at UMD. We can’t imagine how else you would want to spend a little bit of your free time! Seriously though, not everything needs to linger around forever.

UMD computing systems and services are critical to our teaching, research, administration, and service. As the spring semester winds down and you plan your summer activities, please keep these cybersecurity reminders in mind.
