There was a whole big hoopla in the state several years ago about social security numbers and identity theft, anyone remember? Just because we haven't heard anything about it recently doesn't mean that it's not a valid concern still. And you can learn who's at risk and how to protect yourself at today's lecture "ID Theft: Are You at Risk?" A detective from the Tucson Police Department will be on campus today to shed light on how one steals an identity, possible repercussions if it happens to you and how to prevent it. The speech starts at noon in Room 256 of the Student Union.
