***Campus Wifi Update***

First, we want to thank everyone who has reported issues with wifi in the last few weeks. We greatly appreciate your patience, and apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this has caused. Our system has continued to have intermittent outages due to the unsuccessful upgrade attempted on our wireless controllers on 1/26 by our support vendor. We have continued to escalate the problem, and have been working with additional vendors to resolve the issue.

Next week, beginning on Monday, 2/21, we will be working with our vendor to rebuild and upgrade our wireless controllers. As part of this process, wifi users may experience brief interruptions to service, but should automatically reconnect once the system has restarted. More details will be provided next week as the project progresses.

***Phishing scam making the rounds***

As Spring semester ramps up, Computing Services wanted to remind our students and employees about the ongoing threats posed by phishing attempts and email scams. One that surfaced this morning was a document shared with faculty/staff entitled, “New Transcript Update for January 2022.docx” from “Office Admin” with a personal Gmail account. This document is a phishing attempt; do not click on the document.

Universities often face an increase in the number of phishing attempts they receive at the start of a new semester, so continue to be vigilant and take the following action to prevent phishing attempts and email scams:

• Do not open or respond to emails that you suspect as being a phishing attempt or scam.
• Do not open attachments that have been sent to you by unknown sources or click on unknown links.
• Be mindful of the sender’s email address and any web links that you are sent. Even a single character out of place may mean that it’s fake.

When in doubt, don’t click.

Computing Services thanks you for your patience and understanding as we perform these critical maintenance activities. If you have any questions, please call the ASU Computing Services Helpdesk at (719) 587-7741 or contact us via email at computingservices@adams.edu.

Have a great day,

***Ability to record Google Meet sessions has ended***

In Spring 2020, Google announced that they would offer their Google Meet premium recording feature for free to assist educational institutions in their transition to remote learning due to the pandemic. As of Monday, January 10th, this premium recording feature expired and is no longer available for use by ASU faculty and staff.

Any previously recorded meetings will remain in Google Drive unless the file owner deletes them, and you will still be able to view recordings. However, moving forward, if you have a need to record meetings, check out Zoom, which allows you to record meetings and download recordings.
