"Orientation seems to be the only time students listen to us :-)" That's really the only time of the year I think anyone has a student's undivided attention. We send out a computing resources CD to all of our incoming students during the summer. McAfee, MS updates, CCA, and links to HelpDesk information on the Web. So we know they're getting the software requirements at least. If they're paying attention to anything else on the CD we just got lucky. It's all on the Web too if they ever need to find it again. ___________ Carpe Diem ___________ Lara Skinner IT Group 358-2594

It's mandatory so every student has to attend.
They
get a VTNET cd which contains ensures their firewall is on, set for auto
patch
updates, installs AV software if needed. They're told to run the CD
before
connecting to our net when they come back for fall check-in. We've
just
completed our 4th year so hopefully we've cycled through the entire student body. Orientation seems to be the only time students listen to us :-). -Randy Marchany VA Tech
