<h2>ENGAGE BEAUFORT to be free, encourage engagement</h2>
USC Beaufort’s Center for the Arts is launching a new series entitled ENGAGE BEAUFORT, a monthly series of forums on topics that impact our lives.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>

The CFA has partnered with local nonprofits and government agencies to bring awareness on topics ranging from environmental issues to mental health and many topics in between. Resources and representatives will be available for one-on-one engagement before and after the presentation.

The ENGAGE BEAUFORT series will begin on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 6 p.m.at the Center for the Arts at 801 Carteret St. in Beaufort. The topic will be Social Media and Us: A Guide to Internet Safety.

The most effective tool we have against internet crimes is education. If you are looking for ways to educate yourself, your children, co-workers, teachers, etc., join us for a panel discussion on how to establish safe and healthy digital habits. Topics to be covered include: understanding how online actions can impact professional success and personal well-being, teaching children and adults how to self-monitor and self-regulate, handling cyber-bulling, protecting your identity, implementing social media manners, and more.

Social Media and Us panel members are Susan Lynch, Social Media and Web Content Manager, and a representative from the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office.

The ENGAGE BEAUFORT series is free and open to the public. For more information go to uscbcenterforthearts.com or call 843-521-3145 if you are interested in getting involved.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>
