Abstract
Kirkwood Community College (KCC) is working to notify individuals and businesses after the theft of a mobile storage device. The device, stolen on June 4th from the college's Skills to Employment office, contained the names and Social Security numbers of individuals and business contact information of participant program employers of the federally funded PROMISE JOBS program. The device was returned shortly after KCC staff notified authorities of the theft. However, computer experts examining the device were not able to assure the data had not been accessed.
