11/26/18 – Texas Wesleyan University Partners with Dynamic Campus to Deliver Comprehensive IT Support
“Smaller. Smarter.” school seeks to significantly improve IT outcomes and fulfill the institution’s 2020 Vision strategic plan
Dynamic Campus, a leading provider of IT outsourcing and IT managed services for two- and four-year higher education institutions since 2002, announced that it has been selected by Texas Wesleyan University, an intentionally small, private higher education institution of 2,600 students in Fort Worth, Tex., to deliver comprehensive IT and strategic technology support to the university.
As part of the arrangement, Dynamic Campus has deployed both on-campus and remote IT leadership and tactical expertise to deliver the highest-quality IT support possible to Texas Wesleyan’s students, faculty, staff and leadership, ensuring that technology is applied in the service of academic quality and integrity, always putting the student first.
“Texas Wesleyan cultivates an environment where students receive the personal attention they deserve,” said Frederick G. Slabach, Texas Wesleyan’s President since 2011. “Our partnership with Dynamic Campus gives us the best of both worlds in many respects: the intimacy of a small campus experience with high-quality, dedicated faculty, combined with the technology capabilities, experience and expertise of an institution many times larger.
“We’ll be relying on Dynamic Campus to help us support students and faculty in the classroom, both on campus and in our growing online programs, ensuring that everyone has the ability to develop to their highest potential. I look forward to the positive impact Dynamic Campus will have on our university community and the impact it will have on helping us reach our 2020 Vision strategic plan goals.”

Managed IT services providers like Dynamic Campus allow institutions to tap into a deep bench of nationwide IT talent with higher education experience, delivering the technology skill, scale and strategic capabilities many institutions simply can’t achieve on their own.
“We’re incredibly pleased to partner with Texas Wesleyan University and play a role in helping them meet their goals,” said Mike Glubke, Dynamic Campus president and founder. “President Slabach and his leadership team have a clear vision for how and where they want to put technology to work on behalf of their students, faculty and institution as a whole.

8/2/18 – Dynamic Campus Wins 2018 Campus Technology Impact Award
Universidad del Sagrado Corazón disaster recovery efforts earn one of three awards in “IT Infrastructure & Systems”
Imagine your campus has just experienced a massive disaster. You have no power, no water, no cellular service, no fuel for your data center generator, and the roads around your campus are heavily damaged. What would you do?
This worst-case scenario is exactly what Gilberto Marxuach Torrós, the President of Universidad del Sagrado Corazón, was faced with when Hurricane Maria struck the island of Puerto Rico in October 2017, destroying most of the island’s infrastructure in the process.
This quick action on the part of Maxuach’s team and Dynamic Campus allowed Sagrado to register students, issue financial aid and deliver courses on campus and online in less than three weeks.
It also allowed the institution to become the focal point of a comprehensive humanitarian relief effort known as Sagrado Contigo – Sagrado With You – that delivered critical aid and hope to more than 43,000 people, including students, faculty, staff and the surrounding communities in the months that followed Maria.
For these efforts, Sagrado and Dynamic Campus were recognized by Campus Technology, the complete resource for academic and administrative IT leaders in higher education, with an Impact Award for 2018 in the “IT Infrastructure & Systems” category.
In their 14th year, the Campus Technology Impact Awards recognize “colleges and universities that are making an extraordinary impact with technology on campus, doing important work in the service of teaching, learning, administration and operations.”

1/30/18 – Sagrado Corazon University Selects Dynamic Campus to Modernize and Optimize IT Infrastructure
Puerto Rico Institution Continues Momentum from Three-week Cloud Migration and Disaster Recovery Effort
Santurce, Puerto Rico-based Sagrado Corazón University and higher education IT services and support provider Dynamic Campus announced a new managed IT services partnership intended to build on the positive momentum the institution has experienced since Hurricane Maria hit the island on Sept. 20, 2017.
“With the help of Dynamic Campus, Sagrado has made incredible progress modernizing and optimizing our IT infrastructure under the most difficult circumstances,” said Sagrado President Gilberto J. Marxuach. “Not only did Dynamic Campus help us begin our fall semester just three weeks after Maria devastated our island, but their efforts have helped us improve our long-term institutional efficiency and resiliency as well.”
“When President Marxuach reached out to us for help on September 29, he and his team were in the midst of a worst-case situation for any institutional leader,” said Dynamic Campus President Mike Glubke. “In the wake of Maria, the island had no potable water, no fuel, no electricity, and sparse cellular connectivity, and the data center was running on a balky diesel generator that needed to be shut down every other day for hours of maintenance—when it had fuel to begin with,” Glubke said.
Dynamic Campus IT experts on the mainland and on campus worked in conjunction with Sagrado IT personnel to create a high-bandwidth virtual private network that could securely migrate more than eight terabytes of data from Sagrado’s intermittently-running data center to a new Amazon Web Services instance on the mainland established by Dynamic Campus.
In just a few days, Dynamic Campus and Sagrado were able to go live in the cloud with three key systems needed to open the university’s doors: Sagrado’s academic enterprise resource planning system, learning management system and financial aid management system.
Dynamic Campus took the opportunity to upgrade all three platforms to the latest build, along with the institution’s active directory and critical desktop and laptop PCs to ensure all were fully integrated and able to run the latest software.
“Since the university reopened its doors to students on October 9, Sagrado was able to maintain 96 percent of its fall enrollment, despite widespread road damage and ongoing scarcity of potable water, electricity and cellular connectivity,” said Marxuach.
“Dynamic Campus has helped us give hope to our students and Puerto Rico as a whole, and if they can help us accomplish all this under the worst conditions possible, we’re excited to see what they can do for us as we continue our recovery and become the modern, efficient, high-value institution tomorrow’s students will demand.”
Under the terms of the contract, Dynamic Campus will continue to provide expert IT services and support both on campus in Puerto Rico and remotely from the mainland.
“Due to the hurricane, Sagrado was forced to complete a nine-month cloud migration project in just three weeks,” Glubke said. “That effort has rapidly accelerated their IT infrastructure modernization plan, and we’re looking forward to keeping the pedal down to help improve institutional efficiency and student outcomes, and deliver a superior student experience for all Sagrado students today and in the future.”
About Sagrado Corazón University
Sagrado Corazón University is an independent, coeducational and non-profit Catholic institution located in Santurce, Puerto Rico. The members of Sagrado share the mission of educating people in intellectual freedom and moral conscience, ready to participate in the construction of a more authentically Christian Puerto Rican society: a community of solidarity in justice and peace.

Contract extended to maintain positive momentum of digital transformation at Cloud’s two campuses.
Higher education IT services and support provider Dynamic Campus and Cloud County Community College — based in Concordia and Junction City, Kan.— announced a renewal of their managed IT services agreement due to expire at the end of 2017.
The extension, approved by the Cloud County Community College Board of Trustees, allows Dynamic Campus to continue to provide expert IT services and leadership to support Cloud’s two primary campuses and 28 outreach locations across 12 counties in north central Kansas.
Dynamic Campus higher education IT veteran Shawn Walden will continue to serve as the primary point of contact, leading Cloud’s in-house IT staff.
“We have a very close working relationship with Shawn and Dynamic Campus,” said Dr. Danette Toone, Cloud’s president. “From a technology perspective, we have accomplished more in the last two years than we did in the previous five.
“There is a noticeable difference with Dynamic Campus on site, and our IT staff has grown as individuals and the overall professionalism has come up several notches. We wish we had unlimited resources to have them here full time.”
Under the previous contract, Dynamic Campus helped Cloud to:
- Conduct a full IT asset assessment and inventory.
- Execute a seamless migration plan to upgrade older systems.
- Modernize the college’s network infrastructure, improving performance, scalability and security.
- Update and optimize their Jenzabar EX ERP system and associated business processes.
- Cleanse the Active Directory to optimize license use and access security.
- Install connectivity on Cloud’s tour buses, allowing students to study and do homework while travelling across the region.
- Overhauled the campus wireless infrastructure, improving student satisfaction and increasing bandwidth tenfold while saving Cloud more than $40,000 annually.
“Not only have we had far less downtime from outages since we partnered with Dynamic Campus, but we also have a much more responsive IT team that is able to work on strategic objectives,” said Toone. “We have a true long-range plan in place that will ensure we’re able to continue to meet the rapidly evolving needs of our students, faculty and staff across the state.”
“We’re very pleased with the progress that’s been made at Cloud by collaborating closely with Dr. Toone and her leadership team over the last several years,” said Michael Glubke, Dynamic Campus’ president and CEO. “There are a number of exciting initiatives on the Cloud IT roadmap, and we’re eager to help bring those to life for the benefit of students across Kansas for many years to come.”
