Phishing Attacks

Over the past few months, there has been an increase in phishing attacks on Campus email accounts. Phishing is a type of social engineering attack designed to trick the user into handing over personal information namely email addresses and passwords. This can then be used to compromise your email, social media and other online accounts that may use the same email/password combination. Most phishing attacks are sent by email, and cybercriminals will often impersonate someone or an organisation familiar to you, such as a fellow student, lecturer, IT or even campus administration. Phishing emails may look and sound like they are genuine, and they may even contain some of your personal information. A typical phishing email will tell you that you need to do something urgently, for example, login to a website or complete a form or download an email attachment.

 

This type of activity is not limited to our Campus and is being experienced worldwide. The CITS team is working on possible technology solutions to mitigate this issue however staff and students should continue to be diligent since a phishing attack can lead to the sharing of personal information with illicit entities and even leave a user locked out of their account.

 

CITS has created a dedicated resource to educate members of the Campus Community about phishing, and you are encouraged to visit the webpage and be mindful of the information that is shared. The webpage can be found at https://sta.uwi.edu/cits/phishing.

 

If you think that you may have been the subject of a phishing attack, please contact the CITS team at servicedesk@sta.uwi.edu.

Alcyone Peace Park

Dr Shirin Haque
 

The story behind Alcyone Peace Park at the University of the West Indies, St Augustine 

One never knows when inspiration would strike and what a single act could lead to. This is the story of Alcyone Peace Park at the University of the West Indies, St Augustine in Trinidad.

In 2011, I received an invitation to Haverford College, USA, as a guest of Center for Peace and Global Citizenship. While there I was taken on a tour of the campus where I saw my first peace pole. In 1955, Peace Poles were the brainchild of Masahisa Goi in Japan.  They take the form of a vertical monument that has the message "May Peace Prevail on Earth” in different languages. It was motivated by the destruction wrought by World War II (WWII) and the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Deeply affected by the devastation of war, Goi wished to spread a message of peace worldwide. The poles are now found in many parts of the world outside Japan.

Physics, as a scientific discipline, played a pivotal role during WWII. A sad turn of events saw the development of the atom bomb from the discovery of the most famous equation in the world, E = mc2. 

As a physicist, I was inspired to build a peace pole within an astronomy-themed peace park back at home at UWI as a reminder of our humanity and that science should be used for good henceforth. 

When the idea was shared with students doing the summer course “Introduction to Astronomy” –the response was overwhelming. Students raised funds, designed the pole and built the pavers from scratch to make the iconic park.  Naturally, it’s astronomy-themed with constellations on the benches painted by students, models of the pyramids of Giza reminiscent of Archaeoastronomy, and a wishing well with the Aquarius constellation on it. The name, Alcyone Peace Park is also significant. Alcyone is the brightest star in the Pleiades and is a hallmark of peace. The peace pole stands at the centre with “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in English, Hindi, Spanish and French – languages in common use today in Trinidad and Tobago.

The park is located on a corner opposite the CARDI Building and is a common site for photography by the campus population and the general public.   We continue to improve on the existing design, with a sundial yet to be implemented …...

UWI DCFA Visual Arts students celebrate World Oceans Day 

It’s World Oceans Day! The Visual Arts Unit at the UWI Department of Creative and Festival Arts (DCFA), Faculty of Humanities and Education, celebrates with an online catalogue of artwork by students. See their various perspectives as they take creative action to support efforts to protect and restore our shared ocean. Students spent time with Professor Judith Gobin, Professor of Marine Biology and Head of the UWI Department of Life Sciences, who gave insights into the critical role the ocean plays in sustaining life on earth. The artworks are the outcome of research and reflection on ocean environmental issues. Images include a look at the endangered Green Turtle and bold statements about plastic pollution.
