Dear Faculty, Students and Staff,
The Office of Information Technology is extending reservations for laptops or tablets through the remainder of the semester. If you are in need of a device in order to work from home, please stop by the Reservation Desk, first floor NAC, and pick up a device – don’t forget to bring your ID card.

If we run out of devices before Thursday, I will send out a notification.
