To better support the campus community, ITSS has updated how support requests are submitted and handled. These changes help ensure tickets are created and triaged properly, with critical issues prioritized.
IT Forms
All equipment, access, and other IT forms can now be accessed via
Submit Requests via Online Form
All IT help and service requests should now be submitted through our new ticket form
This sends your request directly to our Help Desk system for faster triage.
Email and Phone Use Changes
We are moving away from using the helpdesk email and phone as the main contact methods for general issues.
- The helpdesk email inbox will still be checked throughout the day, but it is no longer the primary way to request support and should not be used for urgent issues.
- The ITSS phone number is now for live critical issues only. We will do our best to answer, but there may be times when all agents are assisting others.
- Please note: If your issue is not critical, you will be asked to submit a ticket through the online form.
If you are experiencing a live critical issue and cannot reach anyone by phone, you may escalate to Deryl Gallant, Manager of ITSS Operations.
We appreciate your understanding as we adapt to current staffing realities and continue working to provide the best possible service to the campus.
If you have questions or feedback, please contact Deryl Gallant, Manager of ITSS Operations.
The Application Review Committee invites campus community members to provide feedback on the candidate who visited for the Tier II Canada Research Chair in Equity in Nutrition, Physical Activity, or Health. Below is a summary of the candidate and a link to the recorded research seminar.
Dr. Waldman has a PhD in Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia (2020) and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sport Management at Florida State University. Dr. Waldman's research program is comprised of three lines of socio-cultural inquiry in sport, physical culture, and health: 1) the local and global postcolonial politics and implications of sport and health focused 'new city' developments in the Global South; 2) sport, international development, and gendered/racialized inequalities; and 3) global ethnography as a qualitative research methodology, relations of power in research settings, and the politics of knowledge production. These three lines of inquiry come together to address questions about how colonialism shape sport-led urban and regional land development, the politics of inclusion/exclusion in urban planning, and sustainable community development in the Global South.
Feedback is requested by 4 pm on July 11, 2025, and can be provided to mlsteele@upei.ca.
