Today is the big day UMR switches its web and email domains from umr.edu to mst.edu.

A piece of cake, you say? Not exactly.

Our friends over at the IT Press blog are "liveblogging" the process throughout the day, and perhaps into the evening. "IT will provide periodic updates today as we switch our web and email servers to mst.edu," IT Press blogger Matt Shaner explains. "There is a strong possibility that something might not go quite as we planned, so your patience is requested."

On our side of campus, the folks in electronic marketing communications are working with IT on the switcheroo and getting ready to launch the first-ever version of the Missouri S&T website.

So, tune in to IT Press for the latest on the switch from umr.edu to mst.edu. And check back here later today for a look at the "Missouri S&T" website.
