Emergency Operations & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Higher Education Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The college lacks a documented mass-notification contract with known lifecycle status, has no evidence of structured emergency exercises, and faces active compliance mandates under the Clery Act, EOP revision requirements, and Michigan emergency planning guidance. A recent bomb threat incident has elevated the urgency for a unified, reliable emergency operations and notification capability.
The opportunity
With the fiscal year ending June 30 and spring budget reviews underway, a near-term procurement window is open. Multiple aligned grant programs and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to reduce local cost burden while advancing compliance and campus safety outcomes.
Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP)

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The college maintains active cybersecurity policies—including MFA, password rotation, and 12-character minimums—but managing credential integrity across a complex Microsoft 365 and Azure AD environment creates centralized oversight gaps. Without a unified identity management approach, policy enforcement inconsistencies elevate the risk of unauthorized access and data exposure across institutional systems.
The opportunity
Active budget planning and documented capital capacity create a near-term window to address credential management gaps before the fiscal year closes. This initiative aligns with existing IT strategic planning efforts, is eligible for relevant grant programs, and supports compliance with institutional cybersecurity mandates—reducing operational risk while strengthening data protection for students and staff.
FY 2026 Technology and Equipment Program (TEP)
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Higher Education Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The college is actively working to meet WCAG and ADA digital accessibility requirements, with a website redesign currently underway. Gaps in accessibility compliance expose the institution to legal and reputational risk while limiting equitable access for students, staff, and the public.
The opportunity
The active redesign cycle and current budget planning window create a timely opportunity to embed accessibility tooling into ongoing work, reducing remediation costs. Addressing compliance now aligns with the fiscal year timeline and supports equitable digital access across the institution.
E&I Cooperative Contracts

IT Modernization · Higher Education Technology
High Priority
About this project
The college's Technology/IT Plan and 5-Year Master Plan identify operational efficiency as a strategic priority, yet a fragmented multi-vendor environment creates management complexity and continuity risk. Capital investments and available funds present a timely opportunity to address endpoint and systems management gaps across the institution.
The opportunity
With spring budget reviews underway ahead of a June 30 fiscal year close, this is an optimal window to advance IT consolidation aligned with institutional planning cycles. Eligible cooperative purchasing vehicles and available capital funds reduce procurement friction and support responsible stewardship of public resources.
FY 2026 Technology and Equipment Program (TEP)
Discuss this project →Modernizing Fleet Safety with Telematics
Fleet Safety · Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The college's fleet currently operates without dash cameras or telematics, leaving gaps in driver accountability, incident documentation, and liability protection. Without these tools, the institution carries elevated financial and reputational risk in the event of an accident or dispute.
The opportunity
The active budget planning cycle and available cooperative purchasing agreements reduce procurement barriers, while grant programs aligned with technology and equipment provide viable funding pathways. Acting within the current fiscal window positions the college for a cost-effective, low-friction pilot.
FY 2026 Technology and Equipment Program (TEP)
Discuss this project →Physical Security Infrastructure Maintenance and Expansion
Campus Safety · Physical Security
High Priority
About this project
The college has an active multi-year maintenance contract covering cameras and access control, reflecting a structured physical security program. Sustaining and expanding this infrastructure is critical to meeting Clery Act obligations, supporting emergency response readiness, and protecting students, staff, and campus assets.
The opportunity
The active budget planning cycle and established cooperative purchasing vehicles create a favorable window for follow-on maintenance or system expansion. Addressing coverage gaps now supports compliance, reduces operational risk, and aligns with available funding pathways ahead of the upcoming fiscal year.
