The University switchboard receives all incoming calls to 1-800-GOTO-DSU, all calls to 846-3000, and serves as an end point for the campus phone system. The switchboard is designed to pass calls from one central number to all areas of the campus. Many callers use the switchboard to inquire about directions to the campus, campus events, class information, and other important issues. However, this presents unique challenges in that when the attendant is on the switchboard with one caller, there is no way for the attendant to answer the second or subsequent incoming calls. This hardware limitation sometimes results in calls not being answered or callers experiencing long rings before the attendant can get to the next call on the line. We can assure you that the University Switchboard is manned by DSU students during normal business hours. You can help us in our efforts to better serve the campus community by using the online faculty/staff directory, as well as utilizing the published campus directory whenever possible. Without automation, this situation cannot be resolved with the current switchboard system. For the immediate future, if you do not receive an answer on the switchboard during business hours, please try again as the attendant was likely on the phone serving another caller. Thank you for your understanding and assistance as we strive to improve both service and communications to the campus.
