                                            COVID-19 (Omicron) moving rapidly across the country. While the pandemic
                                            continues to cast a long shadow over all aspects of life, we will always strive to
                                            provide technology solutions to assist with the changing needs of our students,
                                            faculty, staff and community - now, and in the future.
