As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the security and reliability of the college network, we will be implementing MAC address filtering for wired network connections in academic and administrative buildings. This change will be rolled out over the course of several weeks, beginning on October 10.

What is MAC Address Filtering? MAC address filtering is a network security feature that restricts network access to authorized devices based on their unique hardware address (MAC address). By implementing this measure, we can better control which devices are allowed to connect, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and increasing overall security.

What This Means for You:

• Only wired ethernet connections are affected by this change.
• All current college-owned devices are automatically registered.
• Registered devices should experience no disruption in service.
• Unregistered devices attempting to connect will be automatically blocked.

Need assistance? If you have questions or find that your wired connection is no longer working, please submit a ticket (if possible) or contact ITS at 814-332-2755. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep our campus network secure for everyone.

Thank you to all who have shared professional attire with the Gator Success Closet! The first students to use the closet have given us valuable feedback. Shoes, ties, belts, and other accessories are the most common items student need that we don’t have – so if you have those items (or any other professional attire) gathering dust at home, please bring them in after Fall Break!

Collection containers will be available once again in the Campus Center (outside the Office of Post and Print) and at the Office of Sustainability (Tippie ground floor).

Anything appropriate for a job interview is welcome, especially shoes and accessories. We hope to offer a variety of sizes for students of any gender. Remember, please only donate items that are clean, dry, and in wearable condition!

If you have any questions, please contact sustainability@allegheny.edu! A huge thank you to all who have donated to this program, from your colleagues in the Office of Human Resources, the Center for Professional and Career Development, the IDEAS Center, and the Office of Sustainability.

The Office of Marketing and Communications is seeking students interested in being featured in future social media content!

If interested, email kfrazier@allegheny.edu. You will be added to a list and contacted for upcoming video or photography opportunities.
