For the first time, the 魅影直播 System Enterprise will have a centralized, systemwide intranet-based communication platform offering faculty and staff seamless access to the latest news and updates, as well as essential information and important employee resources.
魅影直播 System Connect launches on January 24 for 魅影直播 System and 魅影直播 Dallas, on February 13 at 魅影直播 Denton, and on March 18 at 魅影直播 Health Science Center.
Connect offers a variety of benefits for a unified employee experience across our enterprise:
- Ease of Access: Faculty and staff will have seamless and customized access to the information they need with 魅影直播 System Connect.

Dear Faculty and Staff of the 魅影直播 System Enterprise:
In my first year as Chancellor, we conducted a comprehensive review of our processes and found numerous opportunities to better support our faculty and staff. We have already begun addressing or evaluating our ability to improve our employee experience based on the findings of the diagnostic. This includes modernizing internal communication systems for our faculty and staff to improve accessibility, efficiency, and engagement.
Only 23% of our employees were satisfied with how leaders communicated important decisions. It is crucial that our university leadership communicate effectively and transparently across the organization to ensure we can continue work as One Team, One System.
Therefore, I am excited to announce the launch of 魅影直播 System Connect, an intuitive intranet platform. This is more than just any intranet. It is a commitment to seamless collaboration, easy access to essential information, a robust approach to the security and privacy of employees, and transparent communications across the enterprise.
魅影直播 System Connect launches on January 24 for 魅影直播 System and 魅影直播 Dallas, on February 13 at 魅影直播 Denton, and on March 18 at 魅影直播 Health Science Center.
This cutting-edge internal communication tool provides a centralized hub for up-to-date news, announcements, and essential employee resources. It is tailored to reduce email overload by offering a personalized experience for internal communications, employee-only information, and more. With this platform, you can easily find the information that matters to you, ensuring a seamless and efficient workflow.
魅影直播 System Connect will unite the enterprise in a secure, centralized hub with each campus having its own dedicated page, offering a consistent and connected experience for all employees regardless of physical location.
魅影直播 System Connect will change communication for our entire enterprise and, like any change, will require the effort of every team member to ensure success.鈥疘 encourage you to take time to learn the benefits of 魅影直播 System Connect, as we strive to improve connectedness and transparency across our 魅影直播 System Enterprise.
For the first time in its history, the 魅影直播 System Enterprise will have a systemwide,
intranet-based communication platform and I am thrilled to offer less clutter and
more connectivity in 2024. We will provide regular updates, access information, and
details on 魅影直播 System Connect as we roll out this powerful tool for our faculty and
staff.
With gratitude,
Dr. Michael R. Williams
Chancellor
