Phishing Warning: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is 1/8/25
Another year, another wave of spam. Be on the lookout for offers of free stuff, or worse, job bonuses. If it doesn't come through official channels, it doesn't count! Pay attention to names, addresses, and how specific they can get. Did that come from your supervisor? Is that really their email? Why did they misspell your name? Or was this even aimed at you, rather than a generic broadcast? Make sure to mark suspicious emails as Spam, or ask the Helpdesk if you aren't sure!
Stay Vigilant!

Winter Break Network Outages: Dec 26, 27, 30
IT will be doing work over Winter Break (26th, 27th, 30th) to update Switch Firmware.
All Internet, Phone, and Wifi will be down in the building during the period of the updates. Some buildings have many switches so it can take up to an One and Half hours to finish updates in those buildings. Some buildings get internet through other buildings so they might go down multiple times. So those will be done in order to shrink the outage time as much as possible.
