As part of the recent launch of myDrake, ITS is making improvements to the faculty and staff contact directory, currently located at www.drake.edu/directory/. On Oct. 22, the full campus directory will only be available in myDrake from the Campus Directory link (under the Commonly Used Apps section). It will contain the contact information for departments, and individual faculty, and staff members. The directory at www.drake.edu/directory will be modified to only contain the main departmental contact information.

This change will have several benefits. It will centrally locate the main contact directory within myDrake, and over time, will decrease unwanted spam and phishing of faculty and staff by having individual contact information unavailable to the public. With the every-increasing complexity of attacks, we cannot afford to give away our personal information.

There will be more information in future issues of OnCampus. Have questions? Contact Peter Lundstedt at informationsecurity@drake.edu or Jeremy Sievers at jeremy.sievers@drake.edu.
