Information Technology Services (ITS) previously notified the campus about a security incident. ITS is continuing to work with external resources to identify and remediate compromised systems.

At this time, we have no evidence of unauthorized access to personally identifiable information. We have developed a webpage that provides additional information and answers to questions about the cyberattack.

If you did not read the email from President Rudd sent 2/26, you will be intrested in the following:

...We are anticipating and preparing for a return to significantly more face-to-face classes this summer, much greater social interaction outside of the classroom, dramatically better access to faculty, in-person orientation and a campus environment much more like what we know and love. As for the fall, we are preparing for a return to a fully face-to-face campus, in addition to our traditional online options and UofM Global.

Being a leader is so often overlooked in this day and age. Perhaps it has become a word or role that we take for granted, but becoming a great leader is no easy task. Luckily, those who have gone ahead are willing to share their experiences with us so that we can be the next ones to step up and lead.

Here is an opportunity for you to discover leadership with Laura Whitsett, our very own Herff alumni and now Senior VP of R&D, Orthopedics at Smith and Nephew. This event will be hosted on Zoom, so go ahead and RSVP for the 5th of March from 2-3PM.

Hope to see you there!

For the past five months, faculty and staff from across campus have worked with project designers from A2H and the SmithGroup to complete an impressive schematic design for the UofM STEM Research and Classroom Building (SRCB). The schematic design now moves into the design development phase and the building is on track for an early December groundbreaking.

Due to a potential security issues, ITS has moved Citrix (umApps) behind the firewall. It can still be accessed from off campus, but now you must use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access it.

How to Connect to the VPN:

AnyConnect is the preferred VPN client. It is compatible with most operating systems, but may not be compatible with some older networking hardware. Begin by going to the VPN install site and log in using your UUID and password (this is the same password that you use for umMail, and all other campus resources). Next, select the download for your OS and follow the onscreen directions.

NOTE:

• For Apple IOS you will need to download AnyConnect from the Apple Store.
• For Android OS you will need to download AnyConnect from the Google App Store.
• For Chromebook OS you will need to download AnyConnect from the Google Web Store.

Instructions:

• Chromebook
• PC/Windows - AnyConnect
  A few notes on Win install:
  • When I tested this it did NOT follow the instructions exactly....It installed the software but....
  • Once installed search for "Cisco" in win search tool and run the program found.
  • type vpn.memphis.edu into the textbox, and click on connect
  • login via Single Sign on / Duo
  • Restarting your browser(s) before continuing
• iOS - AnyConnect
• MAC OS - AnyConnect

Download AnyConnect Client Software for Linux, Red Hat, Ubuntu from the VPN install site.

Once you have installed the VPN and logged in via Single Sign On (SSO) and Duo, your computer will be vitually part of the UofM network (and be allowed to access umApps). You can disconnect from the UofM VPN by clicking on the cisco vpn icon in your hidden icons try and disconnecting.
