Hundreds of University of Toronto (U of T) students and staff had the chance to talk to Information Technology Services (ITS) staff and take home swag, resources and prizes during the 2019 Students’ Union (UTSU) Street Fest, held under warm, sunny skies on Sept. 11.
Three ITS-related booths exhibited at the annual
St. George Street festival: Information Security (IS), Quercus and Next Generation Student Information Services (ACORN).
The IS and Quercus booths both enticed the crowd with games. IS hosted the “Catch the Phish” challenge, awarding University-branded power banks to winners who could spot 10 signs of a phishing email. Offering a range of prizes, including mugs, the Quercus-themed “A Tree Through The Ages” trivia challenged people on their knowledge of the U of T learning management system.
Meanwhile, ACORN staff was on hand next store to answer questions about the student information service and give out sweet treats.

Stay tuned for more information security coming up this October. Students, staff and faculty members can participate in events and activities during Cyber Security Awareness Month (CSAM), happening across all three campuses.
