A Message from CIO Don Riley

Welcome to the first issue of IT forUM! We are launching this publication as a new effort to improve our communication with users about the services that OIT provides and how IT is being used at the university. We hope this publication will enhance the services we provide and better equip you to use technology by providing useful and topical information relevant to your personal productivity needs. We also hope this publication will inspire the ambitious use of technology by providing useful tips, as well as examples of ways others are using technology effectively. We also use this forum to make the university community aware of the plans, goals, and strategies that OIT has for the future — in support of the overall university strategic plan and the academic missions.

We also hope that this newsletter will not only be a way for OIT to provide information to the user community, but that it will begin a two-way communication with the community. The newsletter will be offered electronically as well as in abridged hard copy so that readers will have an increased ability respond to surveys and questions posed by OIT. This dialogue will enable OIT to provide better service to its community of users.
