October DoIT Gritty Award

We are excited to announce that Regina Clowser, Dan Loftus, and Tim Boyle are the recipients of the October Gritty Award!

The Division of Information Technology’s Gritty Award recognizes the outstanding work within the Division and the positive impact individuals have on the campus. 

After over four years of dedicated effort, the legacy Rolm phones on campus have all been successfully replaced with new Cisco VoIP phones. This remarkable achievement began in 2018 with a pilot program at IMET, which gained momentum during the 2020 pandemic to address the urgent need for remote and hybrid work solutions.

Regina and her team meticulously collaborated with every academic and administrative department, not only documenting and inventorying existing phones but also facilitating a smooth transition to the new system. This process involved working closely with departments to assess their future needs and promoting the adoption of the Webex softphone. This thoughtful approach provided departments with tailored phone solutions and saved the campus thousands of dollars in unnecessary phone handsets.

Congratulations Regina, Dan, Tim, and their team of students for their outstanding commitment to the campus community!
