Modernize Campus Emergency Notification & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The university currently depends on an externally hosted county mass notification system, creating operational vulnerability and limiting internal control during emergencies. Gaps in documented HSEEP-style exercises and internal notification infrastructure expose the institution to NIMS/EMPG compliance risk and emergency preparedness deficiencies.
The opportunity
Mass notification has been identified as a funded, top strategic priority, creating a timely window to reduce external dependency and close compliance gaps. Aligning this initiative with the Vision 2030 IT investment plan and incoming technology leadership supports near-term action and strengthens campus-wide emergency readiness.

Web Accessibility · Higher Education Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university has committed to WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards and faces an April 2026 state deadline, with applicability under active review. Growth in online programs and the transition to university status have increased the urgency for accessible digital content and compliant web infrastructure.
The opportunity
The April 2026 deadline creates a narrow window for procurement and implementation. The Digital Equity Competitive Grant Program offers eligible higher education institutions funding for hardware and software supporting digital access and website accessibility, reducing local cost burden while advancing the university's Vision 2030 accessibility goals.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The institution's transition to university status and growth of online programs has expanded its IT attack surface, increasing exposure to identity and access risks. Internal policy mandates and reliance on Microsoft 365 highlight gaps in password and identity management that require structured remediation.
The opportunity
Vision 2030's explicit commitment to IT infrastructure investment and the recent appointment of a new technology leader create a favorable window for advancing cybersecurity initiatives in the current budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing pathways available to higher education institutions can streamline procurement and reduce time-to-implementation.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Driver Behavior Visibility Initiative
Fleet Safety · Liability Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The university currently lacks in-vehicle recording and telematics capabilities, creating a driver behavior blind spot across its fleet operations. Without monitoring tools in place, the institution carries unmitigated liability exposure and limited ability to respond to or prevent fleet-related incidents.
The opportunity
Proactively addressing this gap ahead of any incident strengthens institutional risk posture and supports duty-of-care obligations to students, staff, and the public. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may offer a streamlined procurement path, reducing administrative burden and aligning with budget planning cycles.
