Dear Colleagues,
As I conclude 25 years as a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Delaware — including a decade leading the Research Office — I want to thank you for your collaboration along the way. You have been fantastic colleagues, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with you and for all the progress we have accomplished together, even amid the trials and tribulations of the pandemic.
To our Research Office team, you have been exceptional research professionals and colleagues — serving the research community expertly and efficiently, with professionalism, patience and good humor.
I am confident UD will achieve even greater research success in the years ahead. My best wishes to all of you, and thanks for the memories of a lifetime!
Charles G. Riordan
Vice President for Research, Scholarship and Innovation

Keep your guard up for phishing attacks!
University of Delaware faculty and staff are regularly targeted by malicious social engineering attacks. The most common are email-based, or phishing attacks.
Increasingly, however, these attacks are taking place via text message or phone call. The community should be aware that attackers will utilize information about an organization, reporting structure or other publicly accessible information to make their attacks believable.
Forward any suspicious messaging to the UD IT Information Security Office (reportaphish@udel.edu). For more information, please see the SecureUD Threat Alerts Blog.
One of the strongest tools for protecting data and systems is the use of multifactor or two-factor authentication. The University leverages both Microsoft and Google authenticators to protect centrally managed systems. However, central authentication services can also be leveraged to protect other UD systems and webpages. For more information on leveraging multifactor authentication for your systems, please consult with your local IT professionals or submit a security consultation request.
