Strategic Initatives Connections – 13 Edition

For Apple ID accounts that you use to control NC State devices, the best practice is to change the email associated with the devices from an @ncsu.edu to an @unity.ncsu.edu email until NC State can begin to use institutional Apple IDs later in 2024. Any Unity account, generic account or alias that exists as @ncsu.edu, also exists as @unity.ncsu.edu. For example, yourUnityID@ncsu.edu also exists as yourUnityID@unity.ncsu.edu. Associating your Apple ID that controls NC State devices to the @unity.ncsu.edu email will help avoid any interruption when @ncsu.edu is disallowed for personal use.

More communications regarding institutional Apple IDs are forthcoming. For information about how to change the email on an Apple ID, see How to update your email address from Apple.

Volunteer Opportunities

Did you know that employees are given community service leave? Did you also know that this leave expires at the end of the year? Put that leave to good use! The summer months are especially challenging for volunteer organizations on campus. Consider volunteering for Feed the Pack Food Pantry or explore other opportunities through DASA!
