Technology Initiatives and a Word of Caution
Posted by Pablo Molina at 10:44 AM - Categories: Announcements
I would like to share with you the news about two major technology initiatives impacting the Georgetown University Law Center Campus in the near future. The first one is the upgrade of our student information system. The student information system is used by students to register for courses and to check grades, by faculty as one of the many ways to contact the students in a course, and by staff members to conduct academic administration tasks. After years of planning and preparation, several components of the new system will go live at different points in time during the 2009 calendar year. Expect disruptions. The second major technology initiative is an ambitious web site redesign process which will culminate with a new web presence for the institution in the summer of 2010. Elissa Free in the Communications department and I are managing the process and welcome your comments and suggestions via the webmaster@law.georgetown.edu email account or in person. Finally, I would like to remind all community members to remain vigilant about information security and privacy issues. In spite of the success of our spam management service and firewalls in blocking most fraudulent messages and attacks, online theft, identity theft, phishing scams, and data leaks are threats to all Internet users.
