Slack

Slack at CSUMB is in the early stages of pilot and testing, as a communication tool for departmental use for staff and faculty.

Project

Phase 1:

We will be piloting Slack with these groups starting in May 2022:

• Information Technology
• University Communications
• Otter Student Union
• Provost office
• Web Section Editors using a shared channel. 

After two months of our initial pilot and fact finding we will be able to communicate further in regards to next steps.
