Administrative Updates & Announcements
We are happy to announce that we have hired Yvette Massey, Executive Assistant to the Chair.
Yvette will start in the department tomorrow, July 8, 2015. Yvette is
a former university employee, who worked as an Office Manager in the
office of the Dean at the Carlson School of Management and as an
Executive Assistant to the Chair of Medicine. More recently, Yvette worked
as a contractor at different organizations such as Det-Tronics, The
Minneapolis Foundation, and the Valspar Corporation among others. Yvette has BA in Communication Studies, College of Liberal Arts, University of Minnesota.
There has been a recent change in
getting access to the data security and privacy/HIPPA training
modules. Anyone with a UM x.500 account - including undergraduates - can
now create a ULearn account and register themselves for the training modules.
To create a ULearn account students need to go to the registration page and input their
information. To register for the training modules, they must identify the required courses and request them.
There are three modules all
Psychology faculty, staff and students who work with department data
(deidentified or not) need to take.
- Data Security in Your Job
- Securing Your Computer Workstation
- Using University Data.
The fourth module all people working
in a Psychology research lab should take is
- Managing Health Data Securely.
If a volunteer in your lab does not
have a UM x500, please contact psyit@umn.edu and
request a sponsored account for them. For any further questions feel free to
contact us at psyit@umn.edu.
