This coming Thursday, March 19, at 6:00 p.m., we will be cutting over our primary internet circuit to a new service.  This is a reschedule of the work originally expected to take place this past Monday, March 16.

This is being done to expand our port speed and give us more direct control over our internet service.

We apologize for doing this in the early evening, but due to the dependence of our campus on this service - and to make sure we have additional vendor resources on hand, we are doing this during the week to help ensure a stable and smooth cutover.

Dear friends,

As part of our project to upgrade our building heating system, you may experience higher temps in the Morrison building through this week.  This will be remedied next week but until then, it may be a little warm at times.

If it becomes uncomfortable, you may adjust the valve on the radiator.

Thank you for your patience!
