Apogee, a leading managed technology services provider solely focused on higher education, today announced the second and third installments in its webinar series to highlight how campuses across the country are partnering with the company to unlock time to drive innovation and exceptional student experiences.
On March 24, campus leaders from three Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) will discuss the role that Apogee managed technology services played in helping to rebuild their infrastructure and free up IT staff time to focus on innovations that drive HBCU differentiation.
On March 31, the discussion with two campus leaders at large public universities will focus on the need to drive a residence hall “renaissance” and the role that Apogee ResNet services can play in delivering a modern residential experience that impacts student success.

Led by Apogee Chief Executive Officer Scott Drossos, a panel of campus leaders from Centenary College, Eureka College, and Ithaca College discussed how they partner with Apogee to offload network operations so that their IT teams can tackle strategic projects essential to institutional resilience and financial health.
