Crisis Management Plan & Emergency Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The institution's Crisis Management Plan is approximately five years old and requires updated exercises and maintenance to meet NIMS/ICS standards. The primary mass notification system lacks documented lifecycle visibility, and the absence of HSEEP-style exercises leaves the campus community exposed to unmitigated preparedness gaps.
The opportunity
Incoming leadership presents a near-term window to prioritize plan modernization and close documented compliance gaps before the next fiscal cycle. Addressing these deficiencies now reduces institutional liability, strengthens campus safety outcomes, and positions the institution to align future investments with available cooperative procurement vehicles.

Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The campus mass notification system's vendor is unidentified, creating lifecycle visibility risk and uncertainty around reliability during critical incidents. The Crisis Management Plan is outdated and unexercised, compounding preparedness gaps that put students, faculty, and staff at risk.
The opportunity
New institutional leadership and a projected budget surplus create a near-term window to evaluate and modernize emergency notification capabilities. Acting now reduces operational and compliance risk while aligning with current fiscal planning cycles and cooperative procurement pathways.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Multi-factor authentication is in place, but no enterprise password manager has been identified, leaving a critical gap in credential security. This unaddressed vulnerability exposes the institution to data breach risk and undermines a broader cybersecurity posture at a time of active IT modernization.
The opportunity
A dedicated $5 million institutional gift earmarked for cybersecurity programs, paired with new ITS leadership, creates a time-sensitive and well-funded window to close credential security gaps. Acting within the current planning cycle aligns with strategic modernization priorities and positions the institution ahead of evolving compliance expectations.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The institution has committed to WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, but its last accessibility audit was completed in 2020—creating a multi-year gap in re-evaluation and ongoing monitoring. This exposes the institution to legal liability and limits equitable digital access for students, staff, and the public.
The opportunity
New leadership overseeing ITS and an active Website & Digital Services strategic initiative create a timely decision-making window to close the compliance gap. Addressing this now reduces legal and reputational risk while advancing equitable access ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
