Fake news and misinformation are running rampant these days. So checking regularly the validity of “important information” is critical.
As a digital citizen, you’re obligated to verify any information source that may influence your decision making, whether it be academic, personal, and/or professional.
Protecting Life, liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is more of our responsibility today than the U.S. Constitutional fathers originally intended.
That means checking your info and validating it before sharing it with social media.
So add the American Library Association’s list of Fact Check sites. to your personal resource list.
You’ll be glad you did!

Disclaimer Reminder: A college student’s first line of inquiry should always be with their campus academic adviser. College Success Life Advising Sessions provide additional problem-solving options to undergraduate and graduate students for further exploration on their individual campuses. Students should always consult their assigned adviser not only during the course selection process but periodically to keep apprised of programmatic changes, testing requirements, course additions/deletions, GPA modifications, etc.
