GCC Gets unSpammed! 

Be sure to get your e-mail cleaned up 

by Mona Field, Political Science Department

After many months of increasing levels of junk e-mails, spam, and time-wasting "best deals" and "phishing" (in which phony e-mails are sent to lure you into giving your personal information so someone can commit identity theft),  our GCC Information Technology folks have finally gotten the budget item they needed to purchase a serious anti-spam program.
Thanks to Bob Owen, Simon Mirzayan, Dave Mathews and with the fiscal blessing of Larry Serot, the district purchased a software program that does a fantastic job of eliminating the junk every day.  Your e-mail once again can be 95 percent real work, and only a few pieces of cleverly disguised junk will come through.

If you have not yet set up your "clean-up program,"  just e-mail helpdesk@glendale.edu and ask how to get started.  You will benefit immensely from this new software, and the increase in your productivity will be worth the few minutes it takes to sign on and activate the program. *
