Be Alert for Phishing Attempts in 2023!

Phishing is a fraudulent practice of attempting to steal personal and financial information via email, text messages or phone calls. Cybercriminal will often attempt to imitate reputable businesses or agencies to gain your information or persuade you into downloading malicious software or infected files to your computer. Unfortunately, schools have become a common target for security attacks, including phishing attempts. As you receive and respond to emails, be sure to review them carefully and be cautious about clicking on any links, providing personal information or downloading and opening attachments. Please view the REMC1 Cybersecurity Tips Video to learn more about staying safe from phishing attempts.

The MACUL Conference, Michigan's premier educational technology event, will be held March 15-17 at the Huntington Place (formerly known as the Cobo Center) in Detroit, MI. Over 4,000 educators attend this conference annually!

REMC1 recognizes the value of this conference and would like to assist our local schools by organizing travel accommodations via a charter bus. Please reserve a seat on the bus by completing our MACUL 2023 Bus form. The estimated cost for the bus ride is anticipated to be $100 or less per person but will be based on the total number of riders.

If you plan on attending MACUL, we strongly recommend reservering your hotel accommodations as soon as possible as the hotels near the conference center fill up quickly. Reservations should be made through MACUL’s hotel reservation system which can be viewed at MACUL Grand Connection.
