Calendaring
RIT Faculty and Staff have access to Microsoft’s Exchange Calendaring on the RIT campus. It is installed as a part of the Microsoft Office applications suite.

RIT provides the Tiger File Exchanger application to facilitate the secure transfer of large files to one or more recipients.

This service is limited to members of the RIT Community with an RIT Computer Account. File transfers are limited to 100MB per file.
RIT Campus Directory (Phonebook)
The RIT Campus Directory is a directory of the people who work at RIT. The two main sections are a college and division section and then an alphabetical listing of RIT employees. The directory is updated on a quarterly basis and department phone coordinators provide the updates. The directory is downloadable for free, or printed copies can be purchased through the HUB.

BlackBerry Services
If you own a BlackBerry, you may be interested in the services available. BlackBerries work by redirecting a copy of your mail and calendar information from your Exchange account to the wireless network. In summary, you can set up a program on your desktop computer to redirect mail, or the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) that ITS provides can do it for you (service fees do apply).
