  • February 11: Upcoming online cybersecurity training opportunity for all employees

    Tuesday February 11, 2025

    Cybersecurity threats, including phishing and malware, are more prevalent than ever. Over 90% of cyberattacks begin with a phishing email, with 80-95% of malware infections resulting from phishing and more than 60% of data breaches involving some form of phishing attack.

    To help protect our university and safeguard sensitive information, Detroit Mercy is partnering with to provide all employees with regular security awareness training.

    This training is online and self-paced, allowing you to complete it at your convenience. Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and you are our first line of defense. Stay vigilant and help us keep our university secure.

    Why This Matters?

    As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance cybersecurity, we recently conducted simulated phishing tests to assess our organization鈥檚 resilience against potential phishing attacks. The results showed that 38% of users clicked a phishing link in the simulations.

    Additionally, our auditors, insurance carriers and government partners require regular cybersecurity training and proof of compliance. Strengthening our defenses starts with you!

    What to Expect/Next Steps:

    • Look out for an email invitation from KnowBe4 with your training link.
    • Complete the training.
    • Apply what you learn to recognize and prevent cyber threats in real time.
    • Ongoing simulated phishing tests will help reinforce your training.

    If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact ITS at its@udmercy.edu.

    Tuesday February 11, 2025

    Starting in fall of 2025, the College will offer bachelor鈥檚 degrees in Health Sciences and Sports & Exercise Sciences.

    鈥淭he field of healthcare is growing rapidly and in need of well-trained, empathetic healthcare practitioners of the kind Detroit Mercy produces with our Jesuit and Mercy education,鈥 said CHP Dean Ahmed Radwan. 鈥淭hese two new degree programs can lead to excellent careers related to healthcare, athletics, community health and wellness.鈥

    The bachelor鈥檚 degree in Health Sciences is targeted to individuals who want to move directly into a career helping improve people鈥檚 health as community health worker, clinical research assistant, healthcare administrator and more. It is also a great degree for those who plan to go on to graduate study in disciplines like occupational or physical therapy, or those who want to work in a non-healthcare career such as law, social work or business where health knowledge would be an advantage.

    The program allows each student to customize their degree to fit their career plans. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1.9 million openings are expected to be available in this field between now and 2033.

    黑料社鈥檚 new Sports & Exercise Sciences degree combines an exceptional classroom education, practical hands-on learning experiences and the values and personal attention for which Detroit Mercy鈥檚 College of Health Professions is known.

    Graduates can work as health or strength and conditioning coaches, healthcare administrators, fitness directors and more. It is also a helpful degree for those who plan to go on to graduate study in disciplines like athletic training or physical therapy, or those who want to work in a non-healthcare career such as law, social work or business where sports and exercise science knowledge would be an advantage.

    In addition, the U.S. Bureau Labor Statistics reports that employment in sports, exercise, and health-related occupations is projected to grow faster than average through at least 2033.
