Moving from umr.edu to mst.edu
Our friends over at the IT Press blog have an update on how the name change will affect campus email services and web addresses in the coming months leading up to the name change. Some key dates to remember:
- Nov. 1 - the mst.edu email domain goes semi-live. That is, anyone who sends an email to an mst.edu address can rest assured that the note will make it to the corresponding umr.edu address. So, if someone is writing to our mascot, Joe Miner, at joeminer@mst.edu, Joe will get the note in his joeminer@umr.edu account. Also on Nov. 1, the mst.edu web addresses will go live, alongside the current umr.edu addresses. So, news.mst.edu will redirect to news.mst.edu.
- Dec. 20 - the big switch occurs. Everything that is now umr.edu will become mst.edu. But people who are still sending email to umr.edu can rest assured that their message will get to the mst.edu inbox, as the forwarding will continue.
- Aug. 1, 2008 - this is the date all email to umr.edu will no longer make it into the corresponding mst.edu inbox.

How soon will there be a ppt template with the MS&T Logo available? The VCC needs to begin getting ready for the spring semester.
Thanks.

Ardith - We hope to have all the graphic templates available by the end of November. If we finish them sooner, we'll let you know. Stay tuned.

The mst.edu domain currently redirects to the existing UMR website. We plan to have the updated website -- or much of it, at least -- online by New Year's Day.
