Modernize Emergency Operations Plan and Campus Notification Systems
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The university's Emergency Operations Plan is 8 years old—well beyond standard review cycles—and a documented tornado warning failure has exposed a critical gap in campus-wide notification reliability. With emergency management mandates in place and the contract status of the current notification platform unresolved, operational and life-safety risk remains elevated.
The opportunity
A newly appointed Chief Safety Officer signals an active window for re-evaluating emergency preparedness systems within the next 90 days. A prospective state pass-through funding path exists for emergency management solutions, and the institution's overall IT budget reflects capacity for strategic, mission-critical investment.

Digital Accessibility · Higher Education Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university faces a federally mandated WCAG 2.1 AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, covering web content and PDFs. An active, institution-wide digital accessibility initiative is underway, with the existing CMS platform presenting a parallel opportunity to strengthen content governance and accessibility workflows.
The opportunity
A hard regulatory deadline and an identified, funded strategic priority create a defined urgency window. Capital submission cycles in August 2026 offer a near-term funding pathway, and the institution's overall IT budget signals capacity for strategic investment aligned to this compliance requirement.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The university has established identity controls through MFA and directory services, but privileged access management remains an unaddressed gap. A $3M cybersecurity appropriation and NCAE-R designation signal institutional commitment to expanding security posture and research capabilities.
The opportunity
Dedicated cybersecurity funding is available now, aligning with the university's research expansion priorities and upcoming fiscal planning cycles. Addressing privileged access gaps strengthens compliance readiness, reduces insider-threat risk, and maximizes the impact of appropriated security dollars.

Discuss this project →EV Fleet & Transportation Technology Modernization
Fleet Modernization · Campus Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The university has an active EV ecosystem initiative underway, supported by a new transportation fee and increased budget transfers for renewals and replacements. While no immediate safety triggers exist, the growing capital investment in fleet infrastructure signals a strategic window to modernize transportation technology and operations.
The opportunity
Dedicated transportation fee revenue and renewal appropriations create a funded pathway to advance fleet technology modernization within the current budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden, accelerating time to implementation.
