2026/04/24 - ACTION REQUIRED- MUST Convert all Microsoft Publisher Files
Microsoft has announced that Microsoft Publisher will be retired and no longer supported after October 2026. As a result, action is required to ensure continued access to any content you currently have saved in the Publisher format (.pub).
If you use Microsoft Publisher, please begin planning to convert your Publisher files to an alternative, supported format such as:
- Word (.docx) – for text‑heavy documents
- PDF (.pdf) – for sharing and long‑term storage
- PowerPoint (.pptx) – for layouts or presentations
Once Publisher is retired, Publisher files will no longer open or be supported by Microsoft.
What You Need to Do
- Identify any Publisher (.pub) files you currently use or store.
- Open those files in Microsoft Publisher.
- Save or export them to an appropriate supported format.
- Store the converted files in your usual document repository.

Please begin this process as soon as possible to avoid any disruption.
2026/01/21 - Important! Mac Admin Rights Change
Dear Mac Users,
I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to inform you about an important update regarding your local Mac accounts. Starting February 16th, we will be removing admin rights from all Mac user accounts.
We understand that having admin rights is sometimes necessary for performing certain tasks. To make this transition as smooth as possible, we have implemented a system that allows you to request admin rights on demand whenever you need them. This process is straightforward and should only take a few moments.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we make this change to comply with UMB policy. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued support.
