Half-time survey
There is a Half-Time Survey in Teams (OIT – Public team, Half-Time channel. The channel may be Hidden, but you can still get to it by clicking on the hidden channels). Please take this survey, especially if you don’t regularly tune in for the Half-Time meetingeach week. The survey is in Qualtrics at this link: https://uvu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dhbHJyXwZQJsWr4.
BYU/UVU IR collaboration day
This Thursday (May 26) we will be going to BYU to meet their Research & Assessment team. If you'd like to carpool, meet in the reception area at 9:30 am. If you'd like to drive/bike by yourself or take public transit, we'll meet up at the Art Museum (best place to park) and walk over together. We hope to have more details as the time gets closer and will pass along that information. (Or you can ask Leisa if you have questions.)

Go passwordless
UVU is implementing a new Passwordless authenticaion option for faculty, staff, and students. Rather than typing a long, complex, hard-to-remember password and using DUO, you can approve a login from your phone. No password is needed. See https://uvu.edu/passwordless for details.
ISO: UVU Swag
If you have any UVU swag that you would like to donate, Douglas is looking for things to put in a care package for a relative who will be a UVU student this fall. If you have a shirt to donate, this person can wear a Medium or Large. Please bring donations to Leisa.

UVU moves from Pandemic to Endemic
As part of Utah’s transition to a Steady State response, some COVID-19 services have transitioned to traditional healthcare systems, and UVU’s vaccine and testing clinic are now closed.
Home test kits are still available at Student Health Services, Human Resources, and Campus Connection. These are distribution-only sites; you can find answers to questions on the CDC website or by contacting your healthcare provider. Vaccinations are also available through the Utah County Health Department and traditional providers.
