IT is hosting a security contest now through Nov. 15. Any faculty or staff member who has enrolled in two-factor authentication (2FA) at any time for his or her UDelNet account and who is not a central IT employee is eligible to enter for a chance to win one of three $100 Barnes and Noble gift cards. Prize drawings will be held on Nov. 15.
