Ray Klump, a Lewis University professor and computer expert, offers these tips to avoid problems while online shopping.
So, you plan on doing a little shopping from your desk on the day that's unofficially been labeled Cyber Monday. Not a bad way to avoid the crowds and take a pass on circling the mall lot looking for a parking place and to avoid the lines at the registers as you try to make purchases, but there are pitfalls, too, says Dr. Ray Klump, Lewis University's director of the master of science in information security program. If you want to be safe, Klump offers these tips: 1. Make sure your computer's operating system, antivirus and anti-spyware software, and web browsers are up-to-date.

The money will be used to gather water into a 200,000-gallon tank for use in campus irrigation and cooling tower systems.
This story was submitted by Lewis University: Through a pass through mini-grants program sponsored by Hanson Material Service, Midwest Generation and ComEd, Lewis University has received a $65,000 grant for a rainwater collection system. The collection system gathers water and stores it in a 200,000-gallon tank previously provided by the Romeoville municipal water system. The project is expected to be completed by spring 2013. The collected rainwater will be used for campus irrigation or cooling towers. The new rainwater collection system will preserve natural water systems since it will reduce Lewis’ use of a well for irrigation purposes. The system will also reduce the use of salt for softening water used for the cooling towers since the…

Student Nataly Toubassi, a graduate of Bethlehem University, attended Lewis' annual tree lighting ceremony and discussed life in her homeland.
For Nataly Toubassi, the Christmas lighting ceremony at Lewis University Monday was bittersweet. Angelic voices of the choir resounded in the twilight next to bare trees adorned with twinkling lights -- a stark contrast to her Jerusalem homeland that is torn apart in war. Toubassi, a graduate of Bethlehem University, has been studying at Lewis University in Romeoville for the past three months through a unique partnership the universities share. Both schools are administered by the De La Salle Christian Brothers, based on the teachings of St. John Baptist de La Salle, and Bethlehem University is the only Catholic university in the Palestinian land. Since 1985, the two universities have collaborated to send Bethlehem graduates to Lewis to …
