The internship application process is confusing, tedious, and unexplainably repetitive. Do you ever get stuck in a loop trying to figure out where to start and what to do next? TIE is here to help you! Land IT is an event that will walk you through the ins and outs of landing an internship. We will guide you through a seamless application process and provide you with tips, tricks, and resources that we have collected over the years.
Let’s land you that internship!

Virtual Tea ALERT: ➝ Talk by Peter Story!
We're very pleased this week to welcome Peter Story, incoming faculty to our department, who generously offered to give a talk this Thursday, noon-1pm
Talk Title: Nudging People Toward Security and Privacy
Talk abstract:
Most Americans express a desire for digital security and privacy. Americans feel a lack of control over their data, and express interest in tools to protect their personal information. However, the limited adoption of security and privacy tools appears inconsistent with these preferences. The fields of psychology and behavioral economics offer explanations for this apparent discrepancy, and suggest a potential solution to these challenges, in the form of nudging interventions. Nudges can take many forms, but what nudges have in common is that they should help people make decisions that align with their stated preferences.
There are many different types of nudges, so it unsurprising that not all have been tested in the field of computer security and privacy: my major contribution is the introduction of implementation intention nudges to this field. Implementation intentions are contextually activated plans which help people initiate behaviors and overcome obstacles. The effectiveness of implementation intentions has been demonstrated in many other contexts, but my work is the first to test them in the context of computer security and privacy. In my talk, I will describe two studies I have completed in this area, as well as my ongoing work. By studying implementation intentions in this context, I offer security and privacy advocates a greater understanding of how this type of nudge can help the public protect themselves from digital threats.
