ITS is working with departments across campus to migrate all shared files into a new software called Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams is a product that combines tools and resources such as group chat, calendars, and file sharing into one location using the Office 365 platform. Teams offers a better way to access shared files and work collaboratively.

As part of this process, we’re offering some open sessions for faculty and staff who either want to learn more about Teams, or who have been using Teams and have questions. See below for session options. No need to RSVP, but if you have questions, please contact Carla.herling@drake.edu or Jeffrey.regan@drake.edu. Session dates and times and listed below.
