The potential dangers of social media are sometimes veiled by funny status updates and witty tweets. But even online identities can face real-life threats, like stalking and harassment.

Join ONA Mizzou at our next event, focusing on how to use social media safely. We'll meet at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 2 in Reynolds Journalism Institute 100A. Three guests will lead the conversation and answer your questions:

• Joy Mayer, Columbia Missourian director of community outreach 
• Columbia Police Sgt. Jill Wieneke
• Danica Wolf, Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention Center coordinator

Do you have questions you’d like answered at the event? Tweet them to us now (@ONAMizzou), so we’ll have a list before it starts. You can also comment below or write on our Facebook Wall.
