IT News You Can Use - February 27
Did You Know?
Turning off projectors after use conserves energy, helps the environment, and prolongs their lifespan. It may seem like a small action, but it can make a big difference in reducing OSU’s carbon footprint, while being cost effective.
So, as a friendly reminder, please make sure to power down projectors when you're finished using them. Let's all do our part to be responsible and environmentally-conscious members of our school community. Thank you!
Accessibility Tips and Tricks
Don’t forget that five BuckeyeLearn Trainings relating to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility have been assigned to all faculty and staff in the COE. While these are not required trainings, it is highly recommended that all staff complete these to continue the COE’s efforts to transform our culture and create a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
