DoIT shared a good reminder that if you’re leaving the university this semester, be sure to review what data you need to transfer or back up prior to leaving. They’ve developed a helpful tool that will provide guidance based on your status.

On Saturday, May 4th – there will be a showcase on communicating research and data through comics at the Discovery building.

DoIT also recently released a blog post detailing how to protect your data while traveling through customs.
