Welcome
Back!

B. Linda
Passauer from the Information Technology department talks about the
new phone system currently being implemented on campus.
- Beginning the week of October 7th,
faculty and staff (building by building) will be getting a new
black phone to replace the old white ones.
- The new system currently has less than
1% failure.
- IMPORTANT!! Keep old white
phones plugged in because you will only be able to make calls on
the new black ones, you will still receive calls on the white ones.
(Keep the white phone until the black one starts to
ring!).
