Apple has recently announced that its newest operating system will be called Sonoma, and is due for release to the general public later this Fall, likely around the end of October.

When Sonoma is released, a few things will happen:

In a recent update, Visio is now included in your Microsoft Office 365 account and Teams! With Visio for the Web, you can create professional diagrams — like flow charts, timelines, and more — at no additional charge. 

Apple has released security patches for three recently-discovered critical vulnerabilities. ITS will deploy these security updates to your tagged Apple computer today. You will see a Software Update pop-up notifying you that the computer needs to be restarted for the update to install. Be sure to save your work before you restart.

You must restart your Apple computer by Wednesday, July 5th at 7 pm for these updates to take effect.

When you meet someone virtually, it's nice to put a face to a name, which you can do using our Directory! Log into your Directory account to update your photo and preferred name on different apps, like your Microsoft Office 365 suite and VIVO. 

ITS is asking the WCM community to be cautious of IT support-related scams. The scam typically begins as a pop-up window on your computer, or an email, asking you to contact support because something is wrong with your computer. The “support agent” will then have you download a screensharing application that is actually malware, or ask for your credentials and sensitive data. 

Personalizing email messages can be a great way to grab a recipient's attention and add information that is specific to them. But does that mean you need to spend time writing tons of individual messages if you're sending a mass email? Not with Microsoft Word's Mail Merge feature! Mail Merge allows you to personalize emails quickly by inserting the information you need into a form message. Both the Windows and Mac desktop versions of Word - although slightly different in appearance - offer the same easy steps.
