On Aug. 16, Kutztown converted Desire2Learn to use Active Directory
authentication. This changed all D2L usernames to email addresses and
synchronized D2L passwords with email passwords. To request assistance with “locking and unlocking buildings” after hours ( 4:30 p.m. -7 a.m.) from Public Safety and Police Services, please email publicsafety@kutztown.edu. During the hours of 7 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, please contact a custodial supervisor at x3-4127 for assistance. Thank you.

As part of the orientation program, our first year students will be given a demonstration of KUnited, therefore a strong representation of the 160 organizations on campus will enhance their experience. Student Union & Involvement Services Take a moment to check-out an interview of two KU students down at the BCTV studios. Undergrad Yvonne Fonte, shown in picture above, joined with Denise Brennan, a GA with political science, in a discussion of voting in Berks County. The program was originally broadcast last week. http://www.bctv.org/special_reports/basic_needs/disabilities-issues-updates/vmix_90276c5c-ca8c-11e0-83d1-001cc4c03286.html TMA/iService Desk - iService Desk is an on-line work request system available to all campus customers to request Facilities services and support. Beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 23, iService Desk will no longer require a username and password for access. You may recall that Facilities instituted a password on this system last fall while we worked to make this system available to residence hall students. We are happy to report that the implementation was successful. All residence hall occupants can now use iService Desk directly to report their maintenance needs. We appreciate your patience over the last academic year as we strived to implement this service for our students. iService Desk can be accessed at http://tmatalk.kutztown.edu/. Please report any issues with iService Desk to the Facilities Work Control Center at x3-1594. Kim Rhode, director, Facilities Business and Campus Services The Opening Day gathering will be held on Monday, Aug. 29, in Schaeffer Auditorium. A continental breakfast at 7:30 a.m. will precede the annual opening day address and presentations given by our union and university Senate leaders at 8 a.m. The Arthur and Isabel Wiesenberger Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching will also be presented at this event. Please remember that college, division and department meetings scheduled for this day are held at the discretion of the appropriate leadership. The Freshman Convocation Ceremony is on Sunday, Aug. 28, from 4:15 - 5 p.m. in Keystone Arena. This is a powerful event that allows us to introduce freshmen formally into academic life at K.U. Regalia is worn by the platform party, but is not required by others in attendance.
