Information Technology

     The Information Technology Commission, or ITC, is concerned with information technology issues affecting all students. It acts as a resource for students on UWEC services in this area and conveys information between students and UWEC administration concerning information technology. ITC serves as a liaison between student organizations, Student Senate, Division of Information and Technology management, and the administration on technology issues, including making recommendations for the allocation of the student technology fee.

11.05.07 - ITC began its budget process this past week.  While continuing to work on online voting, a syllabus database, and file sharing policy, we have begun to craft a masterpiece of a tech budget.  Instead of requiring you all to attend a budget meeting, I will just be presenting the budget in front of the Senate.  We will have an ITC meeting next Wednesday at 3:30, and you are all inveted to attend.  Aaron
 
10.29.07 - We will have a meeting this Wednesday at 3:30 in the Tech Conference Room.  We will continue our quest for online voting and open courseware.  Wednesday night, Rick Richmond from LTS and I will be presenting a proposal for dorm wireless to RHA.
