New Duo 2FA feature allows 12 hours of access
The setting is browser-based and will work only if the employee is accessing a Central Authentication Service (CAS)-protected resource from the same browser used to enable the 12-hour setting. Once the “Remember me” checkbox has been checked, it will remain checked by default unless the browser cache is cleared.
Please note that employees are strongly encouraged to use the Duo Push method (via smartphone or tablet app) whenever possible, as both the phone call and passcode via SMS options incur costs to the University.
Visit the 2FA site for general information about 2FA at the U.
The goals of this program are to heighten campus awareness of local needs, foster an appreciation of service work by U faculty, strengthen dialogue between campus and community and build tolerance and respect in our diverse city. Yi’s project, “Photo Storytelling as Depression Intervention for Second-Generation Immigrant Adolescent Latinas” will begin fall 2017.
In collaboration with therapists at Community Health Centers, Inc. of Utah, Yi will develop a community-based mental health treatment program. Her project will use photo storytelling, a new intervention method, to help reduce and manage depression for adolescent Latinas and integrate photo storytelling into supportive group therapy sessions. By sharing their experiences with family members, mental health providers and the general community through photo storytelling, Latina participants will help raise awareness about the mental health needs of their peers.
RED BUTTE GARDEN’S BULBS AND BLOOMS

All bulbs don’t bloom at the same time.
Different varieties peak at different times, so be sure to visit often to see all that will be blooming this spring. For more information, go here.

Submit the nomination form by Feb. 28, 2017.
BOOK TACKLES HOW TO HAVE EFFECTIVE, DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS

This book provides illustrated real-world examples of both successful and unsuccessful difficult conversations in the workplace.
Together, Soehner and Darling have provided presentations on effective difficult conversations as part of the University of Utah Leadership Development Program since March 2013. The success of their presentation broadened their reach across campus and they began providing the same presentation for the Health Sciences Leadership Development Program for a total of four presentations each year. For more information about this book, go to the ALA store.
MIGRATION OF STUDENT UMAIL ACCOUNTS TO 0365 BEGINS FEB. 1

“The move to Office 365 is in keeping with the university’s strategy to transition to cloud-based services when there are improved services for students combined with less risk and cost for the institution,” said Chief Information Officer Steve Hess. “It will help better align us with Pac-12 and other peer institutions that have already successfully made this move.”
The phased plan will take place over the course of several months, starting with inactive accounts, but eventually encompassing all students with a non-employee role at the university.
Emails informing students of the change will be sent in batches, alerting users that their accounts may be moved as soon as 24 hours after receipt of the email. In addition, the emails outline the new login process and detail user interface changes to post-login screens.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE EDIE KOCHENOUR MEMORIAL LECTURE AT NOON ON FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 2017

Azzi is a well-respected coach, speaker and author who actively represents the sport, both locally and internationally. Azzi’s lecture, Crossing the Half-Court: Women Breaking Boundaries, will address the success she has had pushing the needle on diversity efforts, and how we in higher education should think differently about creating similar successes, not just in sports, but in life.
This topic is particularly important realizing the low success of diversity efforts, despite trying. A symposium consisting of several smaller discussions centered around topics of diversity will follow Azzi’s noon lecture. There will be a light lunch preceding the lecture.
Additional details and a registration link will be available soon.
