Access from within the university (RUWireless or any campus hard-wired connection) are unaffected. 
The 6th annual Online and Hybrid Learning Conference will take place over two days, on January 14  at NJIT in Newark  and January 15 in the Hilton Conference Center in East Brunswick. The conference is co-sponsored by Rutgers Center for Online and Hybrid Learning & Instructional Technologies, the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Ocean County College, NJEdge, and Pearson Online Learning.
