First Day of Fall: Sept. 22

September has brought us slightly cooler weather, a bit of much needed rain and of course the return of gameday traditions in T-town! Later this month, look forward to the first official day of fall on the 22nd!

OCTSA Guest Speaker

OIT and Benefits Updates

Taylor Anderson, CISO in the Office of Information Technology, will be joining us to discuss several security platforms that OIT is pushing out this semester. He'll provide us with introductions and useful resources to these applications. One tool, Microsoft Mobile Application Management, launched last week on Sept. 3 and was announced in UA News.

Erica Shumate, Executive Director of Benefits and Wellness of Human Resources, will discuss what to expect of this year's benefits and open enrollment period.
