Hello!     

In the latest issue of the Tech Update, learn about Microsoft Loop, a new app that allows you to easily manage tasks and projects synced across Microsoft 365, and don’t miss Professor Passas’ article about the significant increase in the number of scams and what you can do to protect yourself. If you’re in Boston, stop by the Tech Bar now located on the first floor of Snell Library.  

In case you missed them, you can browse all past issues of the Update on the ITS website. You can also submit tips and success stories that you’d like to share in future updates, through Share IT!

As a reminder, the IT Service Desk is just a call, email, or chat away for technology support. Or take advantage of the self-service options at service.northeastern.edu/tech

Cheers!
