Knowledge Base - How to change your Time Zone on your Mac.

Indiana has recently adopted Daylight Savings Time. Most of the state (including Crawfordsville) is in the eastern time zone; Wabash will now be on the same time as New York year-round. Most Wabash computers (and faculty/staff/student computers) will need to have their time zone reset from "Indiana Time" to Eastern time. To make this change, do the following: 1. Open the System Preferences. Go to the Blue Apple on the top left of the screen, click and select "System Preferences". 2. Click on “Date & Time” under the system settings. 3. Under the "Date & Time" heading select a city that observes daylight savings time such as New York City. 4. Excit the System Preferences.
