Bulletins & Updates
Penn State Telephone Transition
Intercollegiate Athletics is transitioning away from physical Cisco office phones and moving to Microsoft Teams for telephone services. This help reduce costs for our department and the University as a whole.
We will be contacting each department to determine individual/team needs. There will be an option to maintain a physical desk phone, if needed, but with the advantage of department issued cell phones for many individuals, Teams will suffice.
Our department will begin to schedule transitions in the next few weeks and would like to have this completed by the end of July.
