Dear Nazarbayev University students, staff, and faculty,

On Feb. 9 we will be joining people in more than 100 countries to celebrate the World safer Internet Day.  To mark our participation in the event, let’s make a commitment to online safety and support international efforts to promote good cyber security and responsible online behavior.

Please join others world-wide and sign the Cyber Security Pledge!
