Happy Holidays & Important Notice from the IT Department

Dear NIS Faculty, Staff, and Students,

As the Winter Break approaches, the IT department extends heartfelt wishes for a happy and restful holiday to each of you. 🎄✨

With just one week left before we break for the winter holidays, we’re gearing up for some housekeeping. Part of this involves conducting a thorough inventory of our loaner devices and accessories, including chargers and other peripherals.

 

🔍 Inventory Time: Your Cooperation Needed

To facilitate a smooth inventory process, we kindly request anyone who has borrowed equipment from the IT department to return these items by Thursday, December 12th, 2024. This will help us ensure that everything is accounted for and in good working order for the upcoming year.

 

đźš« Pause on Loaning Equipment

Please note, during this final week (leading up to the holidays), we will not be issuing any loaner devices or accessories. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

 

đź“Ł Friendly Reminder

Returning borrowed items on time is crucial for our inventory process and helps us maintain our resources effectively. Your timely response will be greatly appreciated!

We thank you for your continual support and understanding throughout this year. Let’s make these last few days count and head into the holiday season with great cheer and anticipation for the new year ahead!

 

Wishing you all a joyful winter break!

Warm regards,

The IT Department at NIS 🌟🖥️🌟

Happy International Men’s Day!

On November 19, International Men’s Day (IMD) celebrates the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities. It is a day to highlight positive role models and raise awareness of men’s well-being. The theme for 2024 is “Positive Male Role Models”.

Today, we celebrate the men and boys in our lives who enrich our lived experience. Recognizing that men and boys are diverse and different is one of the main goals of IMD. By challenging reductive stereotypes like “Boy’s don’t cry”, we can collectively promote alternative, kinder, more liberated versions of masculinity that can act as genuine role models for young boys to aspire to.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL MEN’S DAY!!!!
