KU School of Medicine-Wichita will turn red for National Wear Red Day on Friday, Feb. 7. We’ll wear red to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease. Send photos of your department decked out in crimson to wicpa@kumc.edu so that we can share on social media and in the next issue of Jayhawk Talk Online!

Is there a special event happening in your department? Do you know a student who has an interesting hobby, or who has made a significant accomplishment? Are you involved in community outreach? An educational program? A hands-on workshop or training session? Public Affairs wants to know about any and all of these events. There are a variety of ways we can publicize events and accomplishments in the school, but we can’t promote them if we don’t know they’re happening. Though not every event is going to catch the attention of the media, we can still promote your event through one of our social media accounts, our monthly community newsletter or by writing our own feature story for the school’s website. Drop us an email and tell us what’s happening. We’ll share the good news!

All of us here in Public Affairs are available to assist you in a number of ways when it comes to communication, public relations and marketing. Need something edited or proofread? We can do it. Have a speech to write? We can help. Need a flyer designed? Let us assist you. We can also answer questions you may have about branding, including logo use. As you may know, there are specifics when it comes to that area. If you have a project that is using a logo, run it by our office and we’ll help keep you out of trouble. Basically, contact us for any old thing. We’ll do our best to help you out.

Public Affairs offers a variety of items to support your events. Do you need a logo banner to showcase at your fair booth? We have a few. Are you serving cold drinks at an event and want something sleeker than a cooler? You can borrow one of our stainless steel beverage tubs. Visit our website to check out photos of available items and fill out an event support request form to reserve what you need. You can also request an appearance by our energetic and fun Baby Jay. Loved by adults and kids alike, Baby Jay will kick your event up a notch. All Baby Jay appearances must have a direct connection to KUSM-W.

If you’re involved in a study that is recruiting subjects and would like to have our support in creating recruitment materials, submit a request using our online form. You can request flyers, ads, Jayhawk Talk Online listings, broadcast emails and more. Once we draft the copy, we’ll send it back to you for IRB approval.

For those who have elected to receive your W-2 electronically, follow these instructions on the State Employee Self Service website. For those who want to receive a paper copy by mail, it is strongly encouraged that you visit the site and ensure that the address on file is accurate. Human Resources does not have access to your W-2 and will not be able to provide you with a copy of it; this is a completely self-service feature.

Safe winter driving It’s no secret roads get icy in Kansas in winter, and it does not take much to make them slick. The best way to avoid sliding out is to slow down, but what do you do if you find yourself sliding on the roadway? Q. Do you drive into the slide or against the slide? A. Drive into the slide. Q. How does understeering and oversteering affect recovery? A. Both make you lose control very quickly while attempting to recover. Watch this video to learn more about safe winter driving using real examples of slideouts.

Fire alarm clarification Please remember that no matter where you are (work, school, church, store, etc.), when a fire alarm goes off you are expected to evacuate the building immediately using the nearest emergency exit. The only exceptions are if there is prior notification, via an overhead announcement, specifically stating to disregard the alarm or if emergency responders tell you otherwise (these occurrences are RARE). During an actual fire, you may only have seconds to reach safety. Any hesitation to evacuate when there is a fire can be the difference between life and death.

For more information on safe winter driving or emergency evacuations contact Safety & Emergency Management at 293-3409 or somwemergencysafety@kumc.edu.

To defend against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, KU Medical Center will soon be implementing multifactor authentication (MFA) across various systems.

MFA provides an additional layer of security, which requires you to confirm your identity using multiple sources, such as a username and password, combined with a numerical code or notification sent to your phone. MFA uses something you know (a password), along with something you have (your phone) to secure your account and prevent unauthorized access. You may already be familiar with a type of multifactor authentication if you’ve used a debit card. A debit card uses a form of MFA, as it requires something you have (the card) along with something you know (your PIN) to authorize a purchase.

KU Medical Center has selected Duo as our multifactor authentication tool. Duo MFA will be implemented in a phased rollout across various systems over the coming months. Some systems that will require MFA include: remote access, Outlook on the web, Workday, and other specific high risk or critical applications and systems. You will be notified in advance when each system is setup to require MFA.

In preparation for multifactor authentication, it is recommended you set up your mobile device ahead of time, so you’ll be ready as MFA is enabled across KUMC systems. To setup MFA on your account, please have your mobile device available and, from a computer or secondary device, visit the MFA self-service site. During setup, you will be asked to download the Duo app from your device’s app store and, within the app, take a picture of a QR code to register your device. Please note: Do not visit the MFA self-service site using your device that has the Duo app installed. You must launch the MFA self-service site from a computer or secondary device to properly set up MFA.

If you’d like help setting up MFA on your account, Wichita IT will host a few sessions that will allow you to stop by in person for assistance. Wichita IT will send out information regarding these sessions as they are scheduled.

Setting up MFA on your account ahead of time will not require you to immediately begin using MFA; it will only prepare you for when MFA is enabled and required on each system. If you do not setup MFA on your account ahead of time, it could present a stressful situation when you attempt to login to a system that has MFA enabled.

More information about multifactor authentication, the Duo app and FAQs can be found on the MFA website. Please note: the KC campus’ contact information is provided on that page, but if you have any questions, please reach out to Wichita IT directly.

Please contact Wichita IT with any questions or concerns at 293-2605 or itswichita@kumc.edu.
