Purdue University began using MFA for Microsoft 365 services in the fall of 2021 and saw its rate of compromised accounts plummet. ET&S piloted this change with its employees in June to collect feedback on the process. Last week, we implemented MFA for M365 for all USNH Systems Office employees. To Do: No user action is required at this time. Please stay tuned for more information. New Suicide & Crisis Lifeline To Know: The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, is now the easy-to-remember resource for reaching trained crisis counselors who can help with suicide, mental health and substance use-related crises. To Do: To contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, dial 988 from a campus or mobile phone. New Course Evaluation Software: Blue (New) To Know: Blue course evaluation software is now available to all USNH students and faculty.
