The Banner Administrative System at Wayne State University is going to be upgraded to release 8.1. Departments in C&IT are leading this university-wide project and are currently working with key business area contacts from WSU administrative offices to test the 8.1 environment.
For more information, including reasons for the upgrade and support information, go to the Banner project Web page:

The move to Wayne Connect, the new communication and collaboration system at Wayne State University, is complete. Wayne Connect replaces WebMail, and it gives students, faculty, and staff an innovative, modern way to share e-mail, files, and calendars.
Each Wayne Connect account includes 10GB of storage — a huge upgrade from the 30MB previously offered in WebMail.
To learn your way around Wayne Connect, you can take advantage of Quick Reference Guides, User Guides, and online tutorials on the following Web page: http://computing.wayne.edu/email
Reminder: Secure settings were required to be updated in e-mail programs (like Microsoft Outlook and Apple Mail) by June 30. Read more.
In mid-March, Microsoft released version 8 of their Web browser Internet Explorer (also known as IE8). Beginning in late April, IE8 was placed on the Windows Automatic Update list, so you may have already been asked to upgrade to IE8.
C&IT recommends that you do NOT upgrade to IE8 at this time, because many WSU enterprise-level systems do NOT have vendor support for IE8. For more information, including features of IE8, installation and removal instructions, and compatibility with WSU systems, go to the following Web page: http://computing.wayne.edu/software/ie8.php
