- Campus Reporting of Fiscal ImproprietiesDear Colleagues,
- Road closures for paving repairsFacilities Management is working with a local contractor to perform paving repairs November 25–27. These repairs will require the closure of the intersection at Harpst and B Streets as well as the south side of the Library Circle. Traffic will have to be rerouted during this time. Access on Plaza Avenue will still be available for those needing to access Redwood and Sunset Halls. We are sorry for the inconvenience and ask for your patience as we make these important safety repairs.
- Google Storage Limits are ChangingDear Campus Community, Starting January 6, we’ll be setting a temporary limit of 150 GB per person on Google Drive storage to help manage space while we work on a long-term plan. This proactive step will help us stay within Google’s storage limits moving forward. Don’t worry, if you are over the 150 GB limit now we’ll give you a bit of extra space, ~10%, to keep everything running smoothly during this transition.

This achievement marks a significant step forward for our organization, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your dedication, hard work, and unwavering support throughout this transformative initiative.
