What is working well right now? What obstacles are stopping you and your team from doing your best work? Where can we improve collaboration? What changes would most help you support our students and the university’s mission?
Your insights and perspectives on these questions will guide my focus over the next 12 months as we work to strengthen the university’s digital innovation and technology services landscape and strengthen connections across our division and the IT community.
Registration will open soon on our event landing page. For now, you can find more details there about the sessions and schedule.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you,
—Didier
