Happy fall semester! Here’s what’s new over the summer from ITS as well as a refresher on what we offer.
New this summer! Drake has launched the eduroam wireless network. It will replace DUFacStaff on Dec. 31. By connecting to eduroam with your Drake email address and password, you can connect on campus, across the state, and around the world. Eduroam is available in over 100 countries at over 1000 participating institutions. Learn more and make the switch today.
