To our campus community,
Our continuous monitoring of the network user experience this week shows the Wi-Fi issues that campus experienced during the start of the semester have been resolved.
We recognize that these issues have significantly impacted instruction and learning, and we apologize.
Message updated on Sept. 8 as support options and number of devices connecting to Wi-Fi have changed.
To our campus community,
Despite our best efforts to stabilize the network for a smooth start of the semester, our monitoring of campus Wi-Fi has shown challenges in connecting during the peak times between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
When classes returned to in-person instruction in the fall of 2021, there were a multitude of challenges faced by campus staff who support students, instructors, and the overall classroom experience. The number of students who needed captioning services to participate in class had grown exponentially while the resources to expand these services remained uncertain. These are the pivotal moments when collaboration between teams and innovative ideas can lead to positive solutions for everyone involved.
To our campus community,
As we begin the academic year, we want to provide you with an update on our network and Wi-Fi. We are thrilled that, as of July 1, we are now fully funded to continue this critical work. However, we are playing catch-up after years of underfunding. While the work to fully optimize our network will take time, we want to make the return to campus as smooth as possible. To help in this effort, we have increased our support for the fall.
If you have network or Wi-Fi issues at the start of the semester:

One IT colleagues,
Thank you to everyone who attended yesterday’s One IT Celebration Picnic. Over 200 staff members and retirees came out to celebrate, and I can’t begin to describe how amazing it felt to see everyone in-person after spending so much time apart these past few years! This picnic was a big “thank you” for everyone’s hard work and dedication as we’ve stayed flexible and agile to support campus through the pandemic.
