Instruqt Successfully Achieves SOC 2 Type II/ SOC 3 Compliance


Instruqt’s SOC 2 compliance reinforces the company’s mission to empower organizations to attract and engage with prospects, customers, and employees with hands-on demos and training. Instead of companies having to tell customers why they should buy their product, prospects can experience the product in scalable, browser-based sandbox environments.

SOC 2 compliance demonstrates that an organization has key controls and objectives to safeguard information and that the controls are effective. SOC 2 reports are a globally recognized standard based on the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA) existing Trust Services Criteria (TSC). The report aims to evaluate an organization’s information systems relevant to five trust criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of information and systems. The SOC 2 attestation is renewed annually.

“Shipwrecked! An Entertainment – The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont (As Told by Himself)” debuts in FHU Theatre This October


Serving as a senior capstone project for FHU theatre major Jack Joiner, “Shipwrecked!” is a family-friendly story, with a colorful cast of characters, that is sure to provide audiences with a night of spectacle and adventure.

The title character, Louis de Rougemont, is a 19th century adventurer/explorer who is marooned on a tropical island, along with the intrepid Captain Jensen, after embarking on a fantastical journey across the sea. On the island he encounters many dangers, but he also makes some friends, like Bruno the dog and an aboriginal woman named Yamba. Rougemont claims that every word from his record is true – but what is the audience to believe?

As director, Joiner is excited to bring this story to life with his fellow theatre students. “The play is a whole lot of family fun, with all the spectacle I could work into it,” Joiner said. “Like all good stories worth telling, it holds at its heart a compelling moral question: How important is the truth to a good story?”

The character of Rougemont is being played by Seth Wilson, an FHU alumnus and graduate of the theatre program. “Jack has amazing ideas, and with the prop team’s ability to execute those ideas… it’s just a perfect mix,” Wilson said. “We all work together to elevate one another and improve each other’s work.”

Other cast members for the show include Grace Sykes, Luke Noles, Collett Heenan and Trenton Sweeney, and Sarah Bowen serves as the show’s stage manager.

“I’m really grateful for Dr. Cliff Thompson, Brandyn Graves and the FHU theatre program,” Joiner said. “A lot of universities do not offer the experience of directing a full length show, and I’m proud that this show is the culmination of my time at FHU as a theatre student. I’m incredibly proud of my cast and crew who decided to embark on this five-week adventure with me. I couldn’t have hoped for a better group of people to help me bring this story to life.”

The mission of Freed-Hardeman University is to help students develop their God-given talents for His glory by empowering them with an education that integrates Christian faith, scholarship and service. With locations in Henderson and Memphis, FHU offers associate, bachelor’s, master’s, specialist and doctoral degrees. More information is available at fhu.edu.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — China attaches great importance to ensuring women’s equal right to education. Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping and special envoy of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for the advancement of girls’ and women’s education, stated this when attending the award ceremony of the 2023 UNESCO Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education held in Beijing on Thursday.

Joined by Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, the ceremony awarded China’s Spring Bud Project and Pakistan’s Star School program.

China has closely collaborated with UNESCO, and the Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education, jointly established by the two sides, has set an example and provided valuable experience for the global development of girls’ and women’s education, Peng said.

Chinese women’s organizations have engaged in friendly exchanges with 429 women’s organizations and institutions in 145 countries, as well as relevant UN organizations.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the All-China Women’s Federation (ACWF) has donated pandemic prevention materials worth more than 20 million yuan (about $2.73 million) to nearly 30 countries.

Meanwhile, the ACWF has organized over 100 training and skills courses for more than 2,000 women’s organizations and institutions in more than 100 developing countries, including those along the Belt and Road Initiative.

Additionally, China ranks at the top in core indicators of maternal and child health among middle- and upper-income countries worldwide. The World Health Organization lists China among the top 10 countries with high performance in maternal and child health globally.
