  3. Upcoming Changes to Zoom Cloud Retention Length

    Submitted by Frances Whited, whited.16@osu.edu

    As a result of COVID-19 and a shift to online and hybrid learning, Ohio State's use of Zoom has grown exponentially over the past several months and use of the Zoom cloud is quickly approaching our storage limit. To address this, beginning December 18, recordings saved to the Zoom cloud will be retained for 120 days, down from the current 270 days. We have decided to make this change between semesters to prepare for continued Zoom use in spring without affecting recordings from the current term. When this change goes into effect, all existing recordings that have been in the Zoom cloud for more than 120 days will be deleted as well.

  4. The Season of Giving

    Submitted by Mick Steiner, steiner.255@osu.edu

     Attention Faculty and Staff:
       
    The Applewood Village Franklin Court RAs are hosting a give-back program this holiday season. This program is for the benefit of Akron's Really Recovered Home. This home helps men who are without a place to live as they transition out of rehab or prison while they establish a new foundation of life. These men are coming to the Really Recovered Home with nothing but the clothes on their backs. The Franklin RA's are creating care baskets for the men as a gift from our community to theirs. Any kind of contributions would be greatly appreciated by the Franklin team, as well as the men at the Really Recovered Home. 
       
    All donations must be received by the ATI housing office by Friday November 20th at 4:30pm. Thank you in advice!
