Vice President of Administration and Finance Mike Barnett announced on Friday that because of faculty and staff concerns expressed with MetroConnect's e-mail system, IT will support Microsoft Outlook as an office e-mail client. However, remote e-mail access will continue to be utilized through the web-based e-mail client within MetroConnect.

"Our goal is to eventually use one e-mail client once MetroConnect is able to provide the functionality that campus constituents require," added Barnett. A number of enhancements to the e-mail product are expected with the upgrades scheduled for fall and winter.

MetroConnect will continue to serve as an official communication tool for the college. "Important messages will be communicated through the personal, campus and @Metro channels on MetroConnect," said Barnett.
