Mission, values and history

Our mission is to connect centralized and decentralized campus computer lab administrators to share best practices, learn what other labs on campus are doing with hardware and software, creatively troubleshoot solutions, and build community. We aim to bridge silos and increase interdepartmental collaboration and communication.

Computer Lab Administrators Community was founded in 2017 by Ella Tschopik and Sean Griffin. Since its inception, the group has maintained its original concept of connecting folks across campus who use similar tools and creating a community around campus tools, best practices and processes.
