To our campus community,
This message is to inform you of a change in the way you make local phone calls from campus that will take effect on June 22, 2019. You may have heard about the upcoming 510/341 area code changes in the news. We want to clarify what the impact will be for UC Berkeley.
Early morning, Thursday, June 6, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Student Union was already a buzz of activity with attendees making their way into the building to participate in IT Summit 2019. The high energy continued throughout the day at this annual conference featuring a keynote by Chancellor Christ and a panel discussion on Diversity and Inclusion, this year’s theme.
Colleagues,
The bSecure team is pleased to launch the bSecure Remote Access VPN (Virtual Private Network) service, using the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect software. This service allows you to securely access the UC Berkeley network from outside of campus and encrypts the information sent through the network. This service replaces the Cisco AnyConnect VPN service.

Without security patches, these systems will be easy targets for hackers, malware, and viruses.

Dear Colleagues,
It is increasingly important for each campus department to be able to clearly articulate how their work supports campus customers and advances Berkeley’s mission. Telling effective and memorable stories is a powerful way to communicate the benefits that your IT services deliver. To help you cultivate your storytelling skills, the Reimagining IT program has been sponsoring a series of Telling Our Stories workshops:
Imagine working with someone closely for over 10 years, talking on the phone weekly, yet never meeting each other in person. Or starting a technical project, only to learn several months in that another department on campus has been working on something similar.
