SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 — Editor’s note: The following message was sent today via email from President Taylor Eighmy and Vice President for Information Management and Technology Kendra Ketchum to all faculty, staff and students:
Over the last few months you have received several messages about the upcoming change to move all student email accounts from Google to the Microsoft cloud environment. This shift will occur on October 4.
We are making this change to protect our students’ personal information, as well as UTSA’s entire cybersecurity landscape. As an added benefit, having our students in the Microsoft environment will enhance the ability of faculty and staff to collaborate with them. To maximize the security of our students’ personal digital environment, they will no longer have the option of designating an external, preferred email address.
The need for vigilance and innovation in our digital security is higher than ever, and this change is reflective of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest cybersecurity standards for you, our students and our university as a whole.
Each October, UTSA observes National Cybersecurity Awareness Month as a way to help our entire university community protect themselves against cybercrime. Throughout the month, the Office of Information Security and University Technology Solutions will offer additional information on ways you can #BeCyberSmart and enhance your own cyber hygiene.
In the days to come, you will receive more information about how the upcoming change to student email accounts affects you. In the meantime, if you have any questions about the new service, please reach out to uts@utsa.edu.
