Dowler said hopefully, by this semester or the next, monthly student-only pantry service can become a weekly occurrence. “There are students that really are not sure where their next meal is coming
Knowing only a username and password pairing might soon be insufficient for logging into University accounts and services due to the school’s decision to phase in two-factor authentication, otherwise known as 2FA, in Fall 2018. While undergraduate students can continue to opt in for 2FA, graduate students are required to use 2FA starting in October, while staff and faculty members will be required to do so in November. Dana Mancuso, manager of Media, Information and Communications for Technology Services, said 2FA is already being used to protect the payroll system, but will now be used to log into applications such as Compass 2G and Moodle. Universities across the country are implementing 2FA. Universities, in general, can be targets for attackers because they hold large amounts of personal information about people and other sensitive data, such as those used in academic studies, Mancuso said. “If someone found out your password, they’d be able to access all of your data. Now, with 2FA, they also need to break into your house and get your phone. So that makes the probability of a successful attack happening much

Local efforts aid relief of student food insecurity BY SAMANTHA BOYLE ASSISTANT DAYTIME NEWS EDITOR
While college can be stressful for a variety of reasons, most students are unaware that some people sitting in the same lecture hall might have no idea if they will be able to afford their next meal. Prasanta Kalita, organizer of Presidents United to Solve Hunger and professor in ACES, said 25 percent of college students are affected
by food insecurity. “After attending one of the first PUSH conferences, I became aware of the campus hunger issues,” Kalita said in an email. “I knew that 1 out of every 8 people globally go to bed every night hungry, but wasn’t aware that in the U.S., hunger on 2-year and 4-year college campuses is a huge issue.” Kalita said he learned if students do not get enough to eat, their health, aca-

demic performance, mental strength and family relationships tend to suffer. “Students should be aware of hunger issues for many reasons,” he said. “First, students would realize that they are not alone.” September was Hunger Action Month and Wesley Methodist Church hosted a block party to raise awareness for hunger in the community. Over $500 was raised from the Smash
Out Hunger event, which allowed community members to pay $3-$5 to smash a car. Additionally, Wesley opens a food pantry for community members every week and a student-only food pantry once a month. “It’s really disturbing, I find, the number of students struggling with hunger. These are students that are getting financial aid, that are getting scholarships,

When Leanne Knobloch was working on a study about interpersonal communications as a graduate student in 2004, she did not anticipate winning an award for it 14 years later. Knobloch, professor and director of graduate studies in communication, has been selected as the recipient of the annual Charles H.
