Please share this information with researchers, staff and students in your unit who may be traveling away from Florida State University this summer. When Available now What FSU faculty, staff and students can now connect to wireless Internet at thousands of participating universities around the globe at no charge. As a reciprocal service, campus visitors, including researchers and international students, from other participating institutions enjoy free wireless access when visiting Florida State. Impact Whether a researcher traveling overseas, an employee attending a regional symposium or a student studying abroad, all Florida State faculty, staff and students can access immediate Internet connectivity at any participating institution, and all guests from participating institutions can access secure Wi-Fi at Florida State without any special provisioning or preparation. Details Setup and login instructions for eduroam can be found on the ITS website<http://its.fsu.edu/Network/NetworkMainCampus/WiFi/eduroam>.

Yu Wang Core, ITS The Florida State University Tallahassee, FL 32306 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Higgins, Benjamin John Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2015 12:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] eduroam Advertising Fellow WIRELESS-LANers: We have successfully rolled out eduroam to our campus. However, everything we have tried to educate our campus appears to have fallen on deaf ears. We still have large amounts of "Can I please have guest access" requests - even when we know they are coming from an institution that has eduroam. Has anyone mounted a successful campaign to educate their campus about eduroam? Does anyone have flyers, marketing material, digital signage graphics that they are willing to share? Thank you very much! --ben -- Benjamin J.
