BHSU TO HOST ANNUAL JOY OF LEARNING SERIES THIS MAY
Black Hills State University will be hosting the annual Joy of Learning, a unique speaker series that allows community members the opportunity to learn from faculty and locals who are experts in their fields. This year’s event will include 20 one-hour sessions and take place May 13, 14, 15, and 16.
The series will include lecture sessions on topics such as the current activity at the Sanford Underground Research Facility, landmarks in Black Hills history, a listener’s guide to orchestral music, and a presentation by Black Hills Bicycles. In addition to lectures, the series will offer art demonstrations, musical performances, and a tour of a local sustainable farm.
All sessions will be held at the Joy Center on the BHSU campus unless otherwise indicated on the schedule. Sessions will be held at 9:30 a.m., 10:45 a.m., 1:15 p.m., 2:30 p.m., and 4 p.m. each day and are free and open to the community. Donations are welcome with proceeds going towards scholarships.
“The Joy of Learning was created simply to give BHSU and the Spearfish community the delight of learning new things just for the sake of learning,” said Dr. Amy Fuqua, dean of the College of Liberal Arts at BHSU.
For a full schedule and more information, visit BHSU.edu/JoyofLearning. Some topics discussed may not be suitable for all ages. For questions, please contact Dr. Amy Fuqua at Amy.Fuqua@BHSU.edu.
BHSU has seen an increase in attackers utilizing a method called Multifactor Authentication (MFA) Fatigue. To help combat MFA fatigue, we will be enabling a feature called Verified Push within Duo Mobile on November 7th. This method will change how the "Send Me a Push" feature works. Once Verified Push is enabled, when you select "Send Me a Push" from the Duo prompt, you will then have a number displayed on your device. In the Duo Mobile app, you will then enter that number to show that it is you logging into your account. This method discourages attackers from repeatedly sending push notifications since the user would not have the code to enter into the prompt. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at BHSUHelpDesk@BHSU.edu.
