Unify Emergency Communications & Continuity Planning
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent ice storm exposed critical gaps in power, communications, and virtual operations continuity, despite an existing alert system being in place. Clery Act mandates require documented emergency response procedures, evacuation planning, and annual testing, leaving the institution at elevated compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Clery Act compliance deadlines and a documented operational failure create immediate urgency to consolidate and strengthen emergency communications before the upcoming leadership transition in 2027. Cooperative procurement vehicles may offer a cost-effective path forward, aligning with budget stewardship priorities during a period of fiscal constraint.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university operates under active mandates requiring 12-character password complexity and security exposure reporting, with no password management solution currently in place. This gap elevates institutional risk across a confirmed Microsoft 365 environment where MFA and secure access are identified as top strategic priorities.
The opportunity
Active compliance mandates and an ongoing cybersecurity modernization initiative create a clear, near-term window to close credential security gaps. Procurement-cooperative pathways such as OMNIA Partners and TIPS may reduce acquisition friction, and addressing this now supports audit readiness and protects institutional data ahead of the upcoming leadership transition.

Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The university is in active early-stage evaluation of fire safety technology as part of a broader campus safety modernization effort. Clery Act mandates require documented emergency response, evacuation procedures, and annual testing, and a recent severe weather incident exposed coordination and continuity gaps that elevate compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Early-stage exploration creates a timely window to shape requirements and align fire safety investments with the institution's broader emergency preparedness initiative. Bundled or phased procurement through cooperative purchasing vehicles may reduce costs and accelerate deployment within current budget planning cycles.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented digital environment with multiple specialized web systems has created uneven accessibility coverage and an unresolved WCAG compliance gap. Without a defined conformance target or remediation roadmap, the institution carries latent regulatory and reputational risk that grows as digital services expand.
The opportunity
Proactive remediation ahead of potential enforcement aligns with existing digital investment momentum and avoids costlier reactive fixes later. Scoping this work within the current fiscal cycle positions the institution to meet emerging accessibility standards and demonstrate equitable access for all students and stakeholders.
