Parents, families, friends, and guests – welcome to Wake Forest University for the Spring 2018 Commencement Weekend. Information Systems would like to provide some helpful information:
Information Systems has enabled Google Hangouts Meet for all WFU users!
Hangouts Meet is a solution from Google for online video meetings and chat with up to 25 people at a time. Hangouts Meet replaces Hangouts video calls.
Newly created calendar events with a video meeting link will contain a Meet video meeting link instead of a classic Hangouts video link. Existing calendar events will be unchanged and continue to use classic Hangouts through August 13, 2018. Hangouts Meet meetings also include a U.S. dial-in phone number.
More information about getting started using Meet can be found here.
Visit the Learning section of the Workday website for additional information, including a chart outlining courses to consider, based on ways you will interact with the system.
As part of our continuing efforts to make improvements in Wake Forest University’s data security, Information Systems has enabled Google’s new anti-phishing features in your WFU Google Mail.
Google also announced the rollout of a new look and feel for Google Mail users. Read more here.
In the coming days you will be able to opt-in to using the redesigned look and feel.
Wake Forest will launch Workday as the University’s financial and Human Resources system on July 2. Instructor-led offerings begin May 14, with several opportunities to attend each course. Additionally, on-demand material will be available May 7.
Visit the Workday section of the PDC website to register for training opportunities.
