Skype for Business 2015 being installed across campus

LLCC is in the process of upgrading Lync 2013 into Skype for Business 2015. Skype for Business 2015 is being installed gradually across campus. It will be available on your computer soon if it is not already. A restart may be required when the installation takes place on your machine.

Skype for Business 2015 will work the same way Lync 2013 does, the only changes will be in the name and in the look of the user interface.

Catalog Committee seeking input

The Catalog Committee is making decisions regarding future editions of the LLCC Catalog. As part of this process, the committee is gathering input from the college community. Please take a minute to respond to three questions posed by the committee.

Catalog Survey

The survey will remain open until Friday, April 10. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Emails to students may not have been delivered March 12-18

Dear Faculty and Staff,

Due to a malfunction in our computer network affecting email service, most messages sent from an LLCC employee account to an LLCC student account between 11pm Thursday, March 12 and 11am March 18 (yesterday) were lost. If you sent a message during that time, you may want to resend it just in case.

Only new messages originating from employees were affected. If you replied to a student, those messages were not affected.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you,
ITS
