UVU Data migration
UVU is consolidating cloud storage solutions from Box, Google Drive, Dropbox, and the S Drive and moving university data storage to Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint to contain costs and better protect university data. This effort will increase storage capacities and enhance collaborations and integrations.
UVU is ending its contract with Box and migrating all data to MS OneDrive and SharePoint.
For Google Drive, Dropbox, the S Drive, and Box departmental shares, we will meet with departments prior to July to identify current department-level cloud storage usage to help consolidate university data where possible to OneDrive and SharePoint.
This migration is planned to start in July 2022, and it should be completed by the end of December 2022.

Internal audit - ethicspoint
The University is dedicated to the highest standards of ethical conduct. EthicsPoint is a system that provides individuals the ability to anonymously report concerns. For example, unethical behavior, violations of law or policy, potential conflicts of interest, theft, etc. should be reported.
Reports can be made online at https://www.uvu.edu/audit/concerns or by phone at 877-228-5401.
Summer University recordings
All recorded sessions of Summer University are available on the Summer U website at www.uvu.edu/summeruniversity.
If you have feedback about the event or would like to volunteer for next year's event, email Candida Johnson.
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.
Go passwordless
UVU is implementing a new Passwordless authentication 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.

parking alerts
There may be a few high school graduations going on this week, so be aware of traffic and parking congestion. (I don't think there will be as many graduations this week as there were last week, but there could be a few.)
