Staying Connected with Remote and Hybrid Work

In addition to the options for using Microsoft 365 applications, the university's virtual private network (VPN), or a remote desktop and applications, there are many collaborative productivity tools to allow you to work with colleagues, teachers and fellow students. These tools allow you to have virtual meetings, online chats, soft phones, and connect remotely to your files and campus resources. Take a look at some of these options and please contact the OIT Service Desk if you need additional assistance getting started.
