Hello!
Summer’s flying by, and before long, class will be back in session. This month’s Tech Update can help you level up tech skills while there’s time—from boosting your creative experience with Adobe to locking down your devices and data while you travel.
Whether preparing for fall coursework or just wanting to expand digital toolkits, these resources can help make the most of the remaining summer weeks. Need help with any of it? The IT Service Desk is here all summer long—reach out anytime.
Cheers!
