Happy Holidays!

The world has changed a lot since March, and through it all, the Miami community has been an anchor for fellow staff, faculty, and students. We are resilient. We are here. And we in IT Services are grateful for your companionship and support throughout these challenging times.
Happy holidays and a wonderful New Year to our friends and family throughout the Miami community. We'll see you in 2021!
