Join a community of dedicated artists for full-time study in drawing, painting, and sculpture. The New York Studio School was founded in 1964 with an emphasis on artists learning from artists, working from perception in extensive studio sessions, and the pursuit of drawing as the most direct means of describing one's ideas or experiences. At NYSS, students cultivate distinctive visual languages and develop personal studio practices that last a lifetime.

Starting February 9, 2026, Microsoft will enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users who want to access the Microsoft 365 admin center. Administrators without MFA will face login blocks starting next month. The measure is part of Microsoft's strategy against credential-based attacks, which remain a significant attack vector. The company began a soft rollout in February last year, but starting next month, the requirement will be fully enforced for all tenants.

The Master of Science in Visualization integrates art and technology to prepare students to become creative and pragmatic leaders. The program fosters the development of focused expertise and a broad foundation of knowledge in the artistic, scientific, cognitive, and technical aspects of the discipline. Students select an area of focus and complete a research thesis or capstone project. Areas of emphasis include augmented and virtual reality, computer animation, computer graphics, data visualization, game design and development, virtual production, interactive design, and user experience design.

When I started grad school, I didn't realize how quickly self-doubt could take root in a room full of writers. Everyone seemed so certain of their talent, so fluent in the language of ambition. I, on the other hand, was still figuring out what I even wanted my voice to sound like. Every workshop felt like an audition for something I wasn't sure I wanted.

In a blog post, Redmond said a cybercrime crew it tracks as Storm-2657 has been targeting university employees since March 2025, hijacking salaries by breaking into HR software such as Workday. The attack is as audacious as it is simple: compromise HR and email accounts, quietly change payroll settings, and redirect pay packets into attacker-controlled bank accounts. Microsoft has dubbed the operation "payroll pirate," a nod to the way crooks plunder staff wages without touching the employer's systems directly.

The attack, a continuation of a campaign conducted in July, involves fraudulent messages asking users to verify their email address for security purposes, and claiming that accounts may be suspended due to lack of action. "This email is fake, and the link goes to pypi-mirror.org which is a domain not owned by PyPI or the PSF [Python Software Foundation]," PSF security developer-in-residence Seth Larson warns. Setting up phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA), Larson explains, helps PyPI maintainers mitigate the risks associated with phishing attacks.
