A UVA-produced video warning students of the perils of showing their nutty sides on the web has won an award from the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group for University and College Computing Services.

The 70-second video stars drama graduate student Ryan Stinnett and was written and directed by Scott Crittenden, a systems analyst in UVA’s Information Technology and Communication division. “We created this video to get our message across to students in a humorous, to-the-point way,” Crittenden said in a release.
