West Texas A&M notified me that Duo went live at WTAMU on March 27th for their single-sign-on portal for faculty, staff and student workers (CAS and SHIB). This includes Blackboard and all Ellucian web applications. They had previously enabled this for webmail and Cisco VPN. Microsoft Office 365 also requires Duo on their campus. Congratulations to WTAMU!
