LATTE, the University learning management system, will undergo a system update Tuesday, Jan. 8. Although the new version will look, feel and function the same as previous versions, there are some new and enhanced functions including a combined participant and enrollment screen and ability to record audio and video directly from your browser.

Also, a new Course Retention Policy has gone into effect on Jan. 1. The policy details requirements for the retention and archival period of courses in LATTE, and best practices to backup and import course materials.

For more information about the upgrade and to view the new policy, please visit the ITS website. For questions, please send an email to latte@brandeis.edu.

On Thursday, Jan. 10, starting at 6 p.m., Information Technology Services will upgrade the Brandeis network to optimize performance and ensure continued reliability. There will be a disruption in service from 6-7 p.m. with possible intermittent disruption until midnight. Services affected include campus phone and network (wired and wireless) connectivity as well as access to Brandeis services (such as Gmail and LATTE).

If you encounter any issues accessing Brandeis services or network connectivity after the scheduled maintenance, please reboot your computer. If you continue to experience problems, please call the Technology Help Desk at 781-736-HELP (4357).

On Sunday Jan. 13 midyear students and families will be directed to park within the entire Theater (T) Parking Lot.

To facilitate the setup of the entire Theater Parking Lot for the midyear move-in process, all vehicles must be removed from the Theater Lot by 8 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12.

Vehicles not moved from the Theater Lot will be subject to ticketing and possible towing.

The Theater lot will reopen for regular Brandeis Community use at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 13.

Please direct any questions or concerns to me at ext. 6-4240 or ecallaha@brandeis.edu.

The workshop will provide managers, staff and faculty with the information and tools necessary to recognize, prevent and respond to sexual harassment and sexual assault.  The workshop will incorporate the impact of diversity on these issues and will discuss the role managers, staff and faculty have as responsible employees and will include the most recent legislative changes to Title IX.
