Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Click UExplore and Summer Programs Elsewhere
EXAMPLE:
Western Kentucky University is accepting applications for its summer
research program for undergraduate psychology majors. For the 8-week
program, students will receive a $2,400 stipend, lodging, and a meal
allowance. Preference will be given to sophomores and juniors who have had
little or no prior research experience, but who have high levels of
achievement and who have the potential to succeed in graduate school. For
more information, please visit the following website:

Google an institution of interest and search

PC SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS
With access to the UE system, you're especially vulnerable
to viruses and malicious access that can shut down your PC and sometimes the
entire UE system. Protect your PC and all of us:
(1) BACK-UP: Periodically, backup your My Documents folder
to a 2-4 GB USB flash drive ($5-10) -- avoid agony and grief! * WINDOWS XP: Also install the free HDD Health to monitor and warn of
impending hard drive failure.
(2) UPDATE WINDOWS: WINDOWS XP: From Internet Explorer: Click Tools > Windows Update --
check for and install all Custom updates -- set to auto
updates. Make sure “Automatic Update” is “on” (All Programs
> Accessories > System Tools > Security Center).
(3) ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM:
WINDOWS XP & WINDOWS VISTA: For an excellent free anti-virus program,
install avast4 – also works with 64-bit systems. Other
highly rated free antivirus programs are AntiVir PersonalEdition 7 and AVG Free. All of these antivirus programs are as good as
anything you can buy -- use only one of them.
(4) ANTI-SPYWARE PROGRAMS: You should have the free anti-spyware program Microsoft Windows Defender (part of XL Service Pack 3 and VISTA). WINDOWS XP & WINDOWS VISTA: Many also install
the free ThreatFire AntiVirus as backup. Other popular free anti-malware programs
are Ad-Aware 2008, SpywareBlaster, and
Spybot-Search & Destroy. Don’t overdo it – one anti-virus
program (auto-update), Defender (auto update), and ThreatFire (auto update)?
(5) TWO-WAY FIREWALL: WINDOWS XP:
With Service Pack 2, Windows XP got an incoming firewall, but you still
need an outgoing firewall to defend against ID theft: For a good both-way firewall, most recommend the free ZoneAlarm --
you will have to look for the free download -- and put up with occasional
"updates" trying to sell upgrades or add-on-programs.
(6) SPAM CONTROL: Use good judgment! If
you don’t know the sender, just permanently delete it (Shift+Delete keys). Never Reply to
spam. Never ever open a spam Attachment. Never click on a spam hyperlink. Never provide
your social security number, birth date, or bank account number online. Use a
credit card only with well-known vendors (Newegg, eCost, Amazon, Dell, Staples,
etc.) that you have accessed directly (beware of common spelling errors that may lead to a phony
look-alike site.
Full Mail Box:
If you allow spam and email to accumulate, it
may fill up your disk space and shut down your account. Remember to (1) Delete files from your Inbox folder, (2) Delete files from you Sent
Items folder, then (3) Delete files from your Deleted
Items folder. (Your assigned disk space
includes all of your folders, not just the Inbox folder.)
(7) IF YOU BECOME A VICTIM OF FRAUD: Click What
to do if you're a victim of fraud? and follow the directions.
(8) TO PREVENT ID THIEVES FROM USING YOUR INFORMATION: Click Security Freeze
State Information and follow the
directions in your state's PDF file.
(9) "ERASE" OLD FILES INSTEAD OF
"DELETE" OLD FILES: Think ahead, someday you'll trash the PC but your
hard drive can still be accessed to retrieve "deleted" files (it's
really easy). To prevent this, install the free Eraser to
actually "erase" those old files that contain sensitive
information. [Otherwise when you discard the PC, re-format the hard drive
(*click Start, My Computer, Local Disk (C:), Format...;
to recycle, re-install Windows XP if you have the disks).]
(10) BUYING A NEW PC: New PCs should have Windows 7, a dual-core CPU, and at
least 2GB RAM. Check
out http://dealnews.com and http://techbargains.com for the best
deals. Significant student discounts for
Microsoft OFFICE 2007 (WORD, Excel, and
PowerPoint for around $70) are available at Software Discounts. You can also obtain Windows 7 upgrade at a significant
discount ($30) until the end of the year (Goggle it), but only consider this upgrade
if your present system is overloaded, bogging down, and you need to reinstall
the operating system – you will have to backup your hard drive to an external
drive, delete everything, install Windows 7, then install all other programs you use (do you still have the original
installation CDs?) -- see PC World
for guidance.
