The first meeting will be held on May 15 from 12–1 p.m. (location TBD). Interested in joining the group? Fill out the Caring for Caregivers Questionnaire. For more information, email Shawn Hawes at [email protected].

Monthly Tech Tip: Save Your Files to OneDrive

Saving your files to OneDrive helps ensure your work is backed up, accessible, and easy to manage across devices. Instead of storing files locally on your computer, using OneDrive keeps everything available when you need it. Save files directly to your OneDrive folder or move existing files there.

•  Access your files from anywhere
• Automatically saves and backs up your work
• Keep files synced across devices
• Make sharing and collaboration easier 

Project Spotlight:

Data Analytics Intake Process

The Collaboration Room on the 3rd floor of IP1 was enhanced with a projector and screen, along with mobile televisions designed to mirror the display of the projector. This upgrade improves visibility and flexibility for meetings and large gatherings within the space.
The room is now available for use and can be booked through Outlook by inviting IP1_3rd floor_CollaborationRoom to your meeting. A key is required to access the room and can be checked out at the IP2 Suite 400 reception desk

"One of aviation’s most overlooked threats isn’t mechanical or weather-related—it’s removable USB media. This category encompasses everything from standard flash drives to external hard drives and portable optical drives (CD/DVD). Across all departments, a single infected device can migrate from office systems to critical operational networks, potentially grounding flights as effectively as a mechanical failure."
