WSU’s IT department says only 20% of WSU accounts have set up multi-factor authentication. The deadline is Dec. 18, because the new system goes live on Dec. 19.
Here are some helpful tips on setting this up from Carl Paukstis: https://nursing.wsu.edu/internal-news/2019/11/06/tips-on-setting-up-multi-factor-authentication/
Remember, if you don’t do this before Dec. 18, you will be locked out of myWSU.
Please encourage your students to do this too.

Denise Smart recently became a board-certified National Healthcare Disaster Professional.
The American Nurses Credentialing Center describes the NHDP-BC credential as “a valid and reliable assessment of the knowledge, skills and competencies of healthcare professionals relevant to all phases of disaster preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery cycles. The goal is to promote successful outcomes for the public, disaster responders, and healthcare professionals involved in a disaster.”
An applicant achieves certification by completing all five FEMA training programs online, which cover incident command protocol, triage, OSHA regulations, community and individual preparedness, and more, and passing a 175-question exam.
Congratulations Denise!
