RecycleMania 2019
RecycleMania is a national competition in which colleges and universities set recycling benchmarks, strive to increase recycling rates and work to educate the community about recycling and sustainability. Recycle West has participated in RecycleMania since 2015. The competition will run through Sunday, March 31.
During this time faculty, staff and students have an opportunity to directly participate in the university's sustainability efforts by recommitting to recycling on campus. The first step for each person is to take the “pledge,” committing to learn about recycling on campus. After pledging, find out more by attending one of the recycling education sessions during the competition and engaging in recycling and other sustainable practices.Click
here for more information or send an email to
recycle@westga.edu.
ITS Standard Maintenance Hours
ITS works continuously to improve the security of all systems across campus. In an effort to reduce the response time to address security vulnerabilities, ITS will add a daily maintenance window to perform server patching. During the maintenance window, servers may experience a short outage due to a reboot. ITS will monitor systems during maintenance and will take appropriate action to restore services if problems occur.
The established maintenance windows are:
Daily window:
Monday-Saturday 4-7 a.m.
Extended windows:
Sunday 4 a.m.-noon
Tuesday and Thursday 8 p.m.-midnight (non-academic systems)
