Just in time for summer, this is The LoopBack, a new SCS Computing Facilities newsletter sharing information on our projects and initiatives for the SCS community. For our inaugural newsletter, we share news about CrashPlan (our latest Data Protection product), our latest supported operating systems, a pilot internship program initiative for female high school students called CTRL+ALT+ELITE, and showcase one of the many changes in our recently re-launched website, our interactive room resource list (SCS conference rooms).

As we look forward to the next semester and beyond, some of our major projects include our Windows domain migration (SCS to Andrew), moving more of our community to the latest and most secure operating systems, and updating hardware recommendations to the latest offerings from Dell, Lenovo, and Apple.
