Good Day!
This patching and update effort was originally scheduled for 1.25.26. However, due to the weekend's events, we postponed this work, in efforts to make sure all technology and infrastructure services were available to support our campus community while we navigated through the events of this past weekend.
This Sunday, February 1st, we will be performing some maintenance on our infrastructure. This is done for performance and security reasons, and will cause some interruptions in service.
