Organization

While the Information Technology Division works as a team to bring you overall service, staff are organized into eight functional units.

IT Service Desk

The IT Service Desk is the main point of contact for receiving IT Support. No problem or question is too big or too small, and our technicians will either resolve the issue or refer it to the appropriate staff. The IT Service Desk provides desktop computing support for faculty, staff, and students via e-mail, telephone and on-site visits. Desktop computing support involves all aspects of desktop computing that fall within our Supported Software List. The Service Desk also provides audiovisual and computing equipment loan, multimedia project assistance, and IT resource reservations.

During the academic year, the equipment checkout window is open Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM, Weekends - closed.

Educational Technology

The Educational Technology staff is committed to working with Faculty to integrate technology into academic pursuits, both curricular and research-related. Our personnel can help develop your ideas or make suggestions, physical or virtual environments on- and off-campus, or hardware and software tools available for exploration or purchase. We continually seek opportunities to partner with Faculty members as they approach new methods of teaching and learning in the digital information age.
