We are pleased to announce that ITS will be supporting the new Apple iPhone connected to Davidson's Exchange 2007 e-mail system and our newly expanded Wi-Fi network.

During the past week, ITS has been upgrading the Clean Access hardware and software. Some unexpected issues will affect your use of the system.

Students returning to campus for the new semester will find a world-class campus-wide wireless (Wi-Fi) network. The new high-speed, high-performance Wi-Fi network will provide mobile broadband access to students, faculty and staff throughout most of the buildings and grounds of the campus.

Students, when you are emailing faculty, staff, and even other students, you should follow some basic guidelines so that your email communication makes a positive impact. Here are some suggestions:

• Use only your Davidson email account to correspond with your professors—or any employee of the College, for that matter. (A student with an email account like Quirkygirlie476@aol.com might not realize how unprofessional that looks if she is applying for a Dean Rusk grant!)


• Be courteous and respectful. That's common sense, right?? Fill in the subject line, DO NOT SHOUT, and begin your message with a respectful salutation like "Dear Dr. Soandso."


• Quickly get to the point. Be specific and present what you have to say in a cohesive manner and in good English.


• At Davidson, you’ll get a prompt reply amazingly often, but don't expect it. Always allow at least one business day for a response.


• Always be the one to conclude the correspondence.
