Silverman library in Capen Hall: the new home of the UBIT Help Center

The UBIT Help Center opened a new pilot location on the 3rd floor of Silverman Library in 2018. Now, this is the primary location to get walk-up help, or to talk to a member of our Tech Squad team.

More iMacs for students, with Photoshop and other Adobe Creative Cloud software

In addition to the Microsoft Office and iWork software suite, iMacs now feature Adobe Creative Cloud software, including Photoshop, Premier, After Effects and more.
