In accordance with 91丝瓜视频's Climate & Sustainability Strategy, 91丝瓜视频 is moving to a new telephone system to reduce our environmental footprint related to our physical phone system.

Common areas not assigned to an individual 听
Conference rooms, labs, workshops听
Receptionist and Administrative Assistants鈥欌�痙esks听
Department/Unit offices听

How does this affect you?听
Hello,
The IT Services team has created 10 information drop-in sessions for the resource account sponsor community to ask any questions they may have regarding their respective account(s) and about the process moving forward, whether your respective account(s) should remain active, deactivated, transferred to a shared mailbox account, or transitioned to another type of non-personal account.
Please attend one of the sessions that best suits your availability.
