Hi everyone,

As we head into the Winter Holiday, the IT department is starting our inventory and maintenance process. If you’ve borrowed any devices—laptops, iPads, charging cables, bricks, or anything else from us—please make sure to return them as soon as possible this week, at the latest by Thursday, December 18th 2025. Please return your items at the IT support window located on the first floor of the HUB.

Also, just a heads-up: We are not allowing checkouts this week, as we’ll be focused entirely on collecting and preparing everything for winter holiday inventory.

Thanks for your help in keeping things organized and ready for the second semester!

If you have any questions please reach out.

Wishing you all a relaxing, fun, and well-deserved winter break. See you in 2026, recharged and ready to go!

– The IT Department
