Computer Refresh and Dropbox

It's that time of year again! As we prepare for the upcoming fiscal year, we will be refreshing primary personal computers for eligible faculty and staff. This helps ensure everyone has up-to-date equipment to support their work.

If you're due for a computer refresh, you will receive a survey by May 15th. Please keep an eye out for the survey and let us know your preferences. To make the transition smooth, remember to save all your important files to Dropbox before the refresh. This step is essential to avoid data loss and to speed up the installation process.

Thank you for your cooperation, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to either Jennifer Anka or Marie Ernye
