Emergency Management Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A 2025 active-shooter swatting incident exposed critical gaps in time-sensitive notifications and all-clear alerts, while a shift to opt-in voice calls risks reducing campus-wide reach and accessibility. NIMS obligations and an annual all-hazards Emergency Management Plan review mandate immediate remediation of legacy notification and incident-mapping tools.
The opportunity
A $24 million disaster-preparedness appropriation and a continued $3 million campus safety allocation provide near-term funding, with the FY27 budget cycle and an active procurement window reinforcing urgency. Incoming public safety leadership creates a timely re-evaluation opportunity to close compliance gaps and strengthen community-wide emergency response.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university operates under an active WCAG 2.1 AA compliance mandate with defined consequences for non-compliance across its digital properties. Gaps in accessible web content expose the institution to legal and reputational risk while limiting equitable access for students, staff, and the public.
The opportunity
With $1.75M in ADA support funding already budgeted and digital accessibility designated as a strategic institutional priority, the conditions for action are in place. Advancing this initiative now ensures compliance, reduces liability exposure, and delivers equitable digital access ahead of the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active cybersecurity and password security compliance mandates are in place, while an aging endpoint management platform creates operational and security gaps across the university. Without modernization, the institution faces elevated risk of breach, audit findings, and non-compliance with established security requirements.
The opportunity
Increased IT budget allocations and an active technology consulting RFP closing in fall 2026 create a near-term procurement window aligned with the FY27 planning cycle. Cybersecurity-focused grant funding signals further support the case for advancing endpoint and credential security improvements now.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & In-Vehicle Monitoring Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Two recent fleet-involved incidents—one resulting in injuries—have exposed gaps in in-vehicle video and telematics capabilities, elevating liability and operational risk. A formal university vehicle-fleet governance initiative is underway, signaling institutional recognition of the need for structured oversight and monitoring.
The opportunity
An upcoming leadership transition in campus public safety and an active university-wide technology consulting RFP create a near-term window to advance fleet safety priorities. Existing campus safety budget allocations and cooperative purchasing pathways support streamlined, fiscally responsible procurement ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

IT Modernization · Higher Education Governance
High Priority
About this project
An active university-wide technology consulting procurement is underway, reflecting unmet needs in IT governance, strategic planning, and institutional technology alignment. Without structured oversight, institutions risk compliance gaps, inefficient spending, and fragmented service delivery across campus operations.
The opportunity
The open procurement window closes in September 2026, coinciding with FY27 budget and grant cycle planning—making now the critical moment to engage. Addressing IT governance holistically positions the institution to consolidate initiatives, reduce operational risk, and steward public funds more effectively.
