On Tuesday, May 2, 2006, UCI hosted the second meeting of the systemwide UC Information Technology Guidance Committee (ITGC).

The ITGC was established by the UC Office of the President to undertake an 18-month process of consulting with stakeholders at all the UC campuses. Its goal is to guide future UC investment in information technology to promote an effective academic information environment.

The formation of this committee recognizes the increasingly important role that information technology will play in sustaining the enhancing the University’s academic quality and competitiveness and in ensuring essential business effectiveness and efficiencies.

The meeting, held at Langston Library, consisted of three sessions: Infrastructure/Administration, Instructional and Student Computing, and Research Computing. A wide range of faculty and staff from throughout the campus attended. More information can be found at http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/itgc/
