Faculty and Staff Free Week at Rec Center, March 16-20

The Pro Rec Club is offering a free week at the campus Rec Center, offering group fitness classes, 3-on-3 half-court basketball tournaments, free massages, and a variety of other events exclusive to faculty and staff.

The Pro Rec Club is a new campus club, focused on helping students develop skills in the professional field of recreation. The club's goal for this semester is to raise money to help fund seven students attending the National Intramural Recreational Sports Association Conference in Charlotte, NC. "As a club, we are hosting this event to benefit the faculty and staff, and only asking for donations. All of our events are going to be run by volunteer help from certified group fitness instructors, as well as certified massage therapists," says Pro Rec Club president, Morgan Carvajal. For more information, contact Carvajal at (925) 759-8444 or email carvajam@sonoma.edu.

Improved Password Standards

Beginning Mon., March 30, standards for passwords on Seawolf accounts are changing. The maximum lengths have been expanded to 28 characters, and password phrases are now supported. The next time an account password expires the user will be prompted to update their password or password phrase using these new standards:

• 8-28 characters long
• A combination of letters, numbers and special characters, containing at least three of the following character types:
  • Lowercase alphabetic character (a-z)
  • Uppercase alphabetic character (A-Z)
  • Special character (punctuation, spaces, *, %, $, etc.)
  • Number

Information Technology has posted Tips for creating good password phrases on the IT website. Note: Do not use a person's name, birthday or social security number. These changes affect LDAP, Solar and Lunar, and the services using those accounts: SSU email, WebCT, CMS, workstation/ domain logins, MeetingMaker, IT and Library computing labs, WiFi login, Graymail and SpamAssassin, and access to some SSU websites.

Other SSU computing services may use these new standards in the
future. Questions about the new password standards or assistance in changing your password should be directed to the IT Helpdesk
at helpdesk@sonoma.edu or 664-HELP (4357).
