Stout Launches Project Niños to Aid Children Living in Bolivian Prisons
The Center for Global Initiatives, founded and directed by Chris Stout, Psy. D., has launched aninitiative called “Project Niños” to help address the plight of hundreds of children living with their parents in Bolivian prisons. The concept for the project sprang from recent trips Dr. Stout made with Flying Doctors of America to several Bolivian prisons. In one week the group provided basic medical services to over 600 men, women, and children. Dr. Stout hopes to raise funds to develop and deploy educational and social skills training for guards and educators who teach in the prison schools, as well as parenting skills, training and resilience development instruction for incarcerated parents. For more information on the project, see the web site http://CenterForGlobalInitiatives.org.
Policies & Procedures
Over the next few months we will be providing and implementing Department Electronic, Network, Computing Policies and Procedures. All Department Policies and Procedures will be reviewed and endorsed by the Information Technology Steering Committee (ITSC) prior to presenting to the Department.
Because of our relationship to UIC and College of Medicine there are some Policies we automatically inherit. Two such policies:
- Information Security Policy - The University of Illinois
- University Guidelines on the Sale, Donation, or Transfer of Computer Hard Drives and Other Magnetic Media
These policies can be found on our web site using the following link: https://intranet.psych.uic.edu/is/ you will be required to “log-in” to access these policies.
We will make both of these policies (along with others forth coming) a part of new employee orientation, but to those of us already in the system we are asking that each of you please take the time to read these policies.
If you have any questions concerning any policy or procedure please let me know, thank you.
