<Title>DoIT to Auto-enroll all New Employees in Duo 2-factor Login</Title>
<Tagline>Reminder: Faculty Deadline Updated to 9/30/19</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>As part of the </span><a href="https://doit.umbc.edu/security/?id=76035" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>recent initiative</span></a><span> to convert all staff to Duo (</span><a href="http://umbc.edu/go/duo" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>umbc.edu/go/duo</span></a><span>), the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) will be automatically requiring Duo for new employees, </span><span>starting Wednesday, June 5, 2019</span><span>. This does not affect any current staff, who should already be enrolled, albeit manually by DoIT this past year. However, it does assure all future employees will be using an effective IT security practice.</span></p>
    <p><span>Generally, this year’s rollout of Duo to all current staff went very smoothly, and our Technology Support Center (TSC) fielded fewer calls or tickets than expected. Similarly, while UMBC was the first to purchase Duo in the USM, both UMB and UMCP now require all faculty and staff to use Duo and experienced minimal issues. Accordingly, DoIT’s goal is for all current and future UMBC employees to be enrolled in Duo, which we’re close to having now.</span></p>
    <p><span>Finally, DoIT wants to remind all faculty with PeopleSoft access (virtually all faculty) that they will be required to use Duo by </span><span>Monday, September 30, 2019</span><span>. Note: The original 9/1/19 deadline was revised to get past the hectic start of term and 10th day add/drop date.</span></p>
    <p><span>Again, more information about Duo is available at </span><a href="http://umbc.edu/go/duo" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>umbc.edu/go/duo</span></a><span>. If you have further questions, please contact the Technology Support Center by either submitting a support request at</span><a href="http://my.umbc.edu/help" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>my.umbc.edu/help</span></a><span> or calling (410) 455-3838.</span></p></span></div>

<Tagline>Rising college costs brings challenges for students</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span>A new Temple University survey found that thousands of college students today can’t afford basic needs like food and housing, and some even end up homeless.</span><div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Check out this <a href="https://www.today.com/video/tuition-or-food-rising-college-costs-brings-challenges-for-students-60028485817" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">feature from the NBC Today Show</a> showcasing different faces and experiences of college student food insecurity, and just how much every bit of help truly matters.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Nationwide, a majority of students who face food insecurity are employed. They are not only working hard in classes, but also spending 20-40 hours a week working to afford their rent, with not much left for routine grocery shopping. To quote from the video: "It's sounds to me like students are coming here (to this food pantry) because they are working their butts off and this is their last hope...It's not an issue of personal responsibility."</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>It's no longer unusual that you go to a college campus and find a quasi- homeless shelter or food pantry supporting the campus community. <a href="https://retrieveressentials.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Retriever Essentials </a>aims to provide students, faculty, and staff with nonperishable food items to ease the burden of purchasing healthy staples each week. Our belief is that with less stress on how to make ends meet, students are able to focus better on their coursework and reach their fullest academic potential. </span></div>
