Message from the Director
Just a friendly reminder that if you have any event on campus or somewhere in the district after hours, please let Technology know if you have any special needs or requests by putting in a ticket. Also let Maintenance know about your event so you will have air after hours. We want your events to run smoothly, but we must have plenty of notice in order to cover your needs.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Have a wonderful November!
