IT: The University, through its central information technology units, has authorized additional investments in the cyber-security infrastructure for operating systems across the campus.
Please leave all computers that typically remain on-campus (i.e. desktops and laptops that remain docked) powered on 24/7 until further notice. You may lock the computer when you leave work. To ensure all computers are patched with the latest security patches, they may be rebooted nightly until notified otherwise. The reboot process will be between 12am and 3am so please make sure to save your work. Again, please ensure computers are left turned on so that the security patches can be applied.
Labs: Kendall Corbin and Alex Fogle are leading a
lab clean up on Friday, March 6. Please consider sharing your time.
