<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I am writing the Political Science department faculty to let you know that a week from today, on
<b>Sept. 19</b>, or about then, the Political Science office and faculty phones will be
<i>converted over to Skype for Business phone service</i>. (ie you will no longer be using the telephone in your office, but instead calls will come in over the Skype for Business on your computer). In most cases, the phone number you have been using for
your office will also be connected to your Skype, and it will also roll over to your department e-mail.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In preparation for this, you can watch the training videos at the link below, and read the attached information. I also understand that it is Suzie Johannes who is the lead of the training staff for this
and can help schedule those who want to attend Skype training.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Skype for Business phone service eliminates the need for traditional desk phones, and the portability of headsets helps maximize the mobile capabilities of Skype for Business. University leadership has determined
that headsets will replace desk phones for most faculty and staff. Individual units/departments have the option of purchasing compatible desktop-style phones for employees. Please work with your unit’s campus technology support staff to purchase Skype for
Business compatible devices. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
