When you walk into a sleek, modern store like Apple, the bright lights, minimalist design, and approachable counters set a tone of innovation and service. Now imagine bringing that same inviting atmosphere to a familiar place on campus—DeBartolo Hall.
The newly refreshed Service Desk in DeBartolo Hall isn’t just a name change from the old OIT Help Desk. It represents a shift toward a better experience for students, faculty, and staff. The goal? To make IT support feel accessible, modern, and helpful in every interaction.
