4. IT Security alert: email attachments threaten Rice computers
At least six malicious email campaigns have successfully targeted rice.edu accounts on
February 24-25, 2010.
The hoaxes arrived from forged email addresses and under titles such as:
"a friend invites to you to Twitter" or "Invitation@twitter.com"
"Thank you from Google"
"You received a Hallmark E-Card"
"Hi" or "Jessica would like to be your friend on hi5!"
"Amazon Shipping Information"
These campaigns are successful because Rice community members continue to open email
attachments containing viruses.
If you receive ANY email message with an attachment that you did not specifically
request, immediately delete the message. The infection process begins as soon as you
click the attachment. Currently, only Windows computers are affected.
Additional details are available on the IT Security website:

5. Conversation Partner Program
Rice University’s Intensive English Program, offered through the Susanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies, is recruiting Conversation Partners. We have approximately 215 students from over 38 different countries in our English as a Second Language Program, all of whom are looking to meet native English speakers.
Our Conversation Partner Program is not a tutoring program. The main goal is our students to be able to practice English in an informal setting. The time commitment required may be as little as an hour a week. We will match you up with one of our students. Where and when you meet will be decided by you and your partner. No second language is required, just the desire to meet a new friend and learn about other cultures.
Next session dates: March 9 – April 28.
If you are interested, please respond to fl@rice.edu by Friday, March 12, 2010.

This event brings a large number of runners and walkers to campus beginning at about 7:30 AM and ending at 12:30 PM. In order to provide for the safety of the participants and still do our best to maintain normal activities, I have attached the route map and am providing the following information:
1. Please do not park your vehicles along the Inner Loop from Tudor Field house to the North end of Alice Pratt Brown Hall between midnight, Friday and 12:00 PM, Saturday. Those that remain after midnight, Friday will be relocated.
