Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Washtenaw Community College has a board-approved website refresh initiative driven by WCAG 2.0 AA conformance requirements embedded in contract terms and an explicit institutional focus on digital accessibility. Gaps in current accessibility tooling create compliance exposure and risk excluding students, staff, and community members from equitable access to online services and learning resources.
The opportunity
A board-approved budget allocation of over $638,000 makes this a funded, near-term project aligned with the current fiscal cycle and active strategic initiatives around digital presence and online learning accessibility. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are already in place, enabling streamlined procurement and faster time-to-compliance.

Fleet Management · Sustainability & Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
Washtenaw Community College is actively executing an EV Fleet Transition and Green Fund initiative, including the acquisition of electric vans, while an existing fleet management platform subscription approaches a renewal and expansion decision point. The shift to EVs introduces new monitoring and operational requirements that current configurations may not fully address.
The opportunity
The EV transition creates a natural, time-aligned window to evaluate and expand fleet telematics capabilities before new vehicles are deployed. This project aligns with active capital planning cycles, supports sustainability mandates, and may be eligible for green infrastructure or technology funding available in the current fiscal period.

Discuss this project →Centralized Credential & Password Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active compliance mandate requiring enforced password complexity and annual credential changes is currently in force, exposing the institution to audit and breach risk. Existing MFA and SIEM tools indicate a maturing security posture, but gaps in centralized credential management leave the environment fragmented and vulnerable.
The opportunity
A board-approved budget increase of $158.8 million explicitly includes expanded technology and infrastructure funding, providing a clear and timely pathway for cybersecurity investment. Addressing centralized credential management now closes a documented compliance gap and strengthens institutional resilience ahead of the next audit cycle.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
A legacy remote monitoring and management tool currently in use presents operational risk and limits the institution's ability to support growing infrastructure demands. Board-approved strategic initiatives confirm active modernization efforts, and continued reliance on aging tooling may hinder service delivery, security posture, and long-term sustainability.
The opportunity
A record $158.8 million board-approved budget explicitly funds technology and infrastructure expansion, creating a near-term window to act within the current planning cycle. Addressing endpoint management gaps now reduces operational risk, supports compliance, and positions the institution for scalable, sustainable IT operations.

Discuss this project →Campus Alert System Evaluation and EOP Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
WCC's existing campus alert system carries unknown contract and end-of-life status, creating unplanned replacement risk. Combined with an undocumented EOP review cadence, absent HSEEP-style exercises, and a recent county EF-1 tornado, preparedness gaps pose real compliance and safety exposure.
The opportunity
FY2026 FEMA preparedness grant funding (HSGP) has been identified as a viable path to offset modernization costs, supporting proactive planning within the current budget cycle. Addressing system and EOP gaps now reduces operational risk and positions the institution ahead of grant application timelines.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active, board-funded initiative to expand cybersecurity capabilities is underway, building on an existing enterprise security environment. Gaps in credential management and endpoint protection present compliance and operational risk as the program scales.
The opportunity
A board-approved budget increase with dedicated technology funding creates a clear procurement window within the current fiscal cycle. Advancing this initiative now strengthens institutional resilience, supports compliance mandates, and positions the program for alignment with state and federal cybersecurity funding streams.
