Born on March 15, 2019, Freya Lynn and Wyatt Reed, grandchildren of Cheryl Schlimpert, came into the world weighing 5 lbs 4 oz and 4 lbs 13 oz respectively. Christy and Trey Whitcomb (mom & dad), currently stationed in Germany, couldn’t be more excited to be first-time parents – and twins is double the delight. Cheryl looks forward to many trips to Germany in her future.

Welcome to the family!

The University will transition to a new two step login service called Okta this summer. It will replace the current Duo service that allows you to access ND services like Gmail, Google Apps, UR.nd.edu, CRM.nd.edu, etc.

Enroll in Okta today! Your enrollment is requested now to ensure immediate access to ND services when Okta goes live on Monday, July 29.

You can enroll by following the instructions at oit.nd.edu/okta  or if you would like assistance with enrollment, we are hosting the following Okta enrollment events in the Family Room:

Tuesday, May 14, 1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Tuesday, May 28, 1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.

You will need your mobile phone to complete the enrollment process.

Once successfully enrolled in Okta, no further action is required on your part until the Okta go-live. You will keep using Duo two step process until go-live.

Early enrollment qualifies you for a chance to win a gift basket, so enroll by Friday, May 31!

If you need assistance but cannot attend these events or have questions about the Okta enrollment process, please contact your departmental IT support staff, or the OIT Help Desk at 574-631-8111, oithelp@nd.edu

Thank you! Your early action in support of transition to this new service is appreciated.
