Big changes coming to Wes Station

Some of these aren’t too surprising in light of the continued contraction of the first-floor window’s hours, but it’s pretty noteworthy nonetheless. Per an all-campus e-mail:
* Wesleyan Station service window on the first floor of Usdan will close approximately on July 10th. ITS Central Printing Services will move from Rm 523, Exley Center to this [...]

An Insider’s Perspective of ITS

An ITS staff member who wishes to remain anonymous sent us the following:
Today’s Argus will include an article related to Wesleyan ITS, sourced primarily by myself.  I believe that this article fails to document the extent of dysfunction within Information Technology Services at Wesleyan, so I have decided to write a separate editorial on my [...]

Hate walking to computer labs in the cold…

…only to find that all the computers are taken? ITS now has a list of the availability of computers in each lab on its website. Nicely done.

Gmail Switchover

So, like we said before, ITS is switching webmail over to Gmail. By the look of the shoutbox, folks have some questions about all the finicky details, like, “how do I get my old emails back?” C’mon guys, new year, new start. But, if it’s really that important to you, check out the ITS Blog [...]

Google Apps Switch-over

As you probably know, Google will soon become Wesleyan’s webmail provider (the switch is happening January 19th). Since I’ve heard a fair number of questions floated whenever it comes up in discussion and had a few questions about the switch myself, I asked some questions and got answers from Karen Warren, one the ITS employees [...]

ITS Open House!

Did you ever wonder about the inner workings of ITS, one of the most crucial (if not the most crucial) departments on campus? Wonder no more. ITS is hosting an open house this Wednesday, Nov. 12, from 1:00-4:00 PM. The three “acts” include The Fifth Floor (where the magic happens), “Usdan and Beyond” (Wesleyan Station, [...]

Open Letter to ITS Management

Dear ITS Managers,
I’m going to preface this by saying that I am an ITS employee: I work for IMS as a Classroom Support Tech. I know a lot more about ITS than most students. And I haven’t the faintest idea who this should be sent to–that’s why it’s going here: I know at [...]

Phishing scams hitting student accounts

Over the last week or so, thousands of emails have bombarded students, faculty, and staff—all ostensibly from Help Desk, or ITS, or some other official-sounding department of the University—that have threatened recipients with the disablement of their accounts, unless they reply with their passwords or other personal information.
Several student accounts have since been compromised, sending [...]
