Welcome to the 2011 CU IT Summer EventSupport events provide us the ability to collectively learn about and discuss our challenges and opportunities as IT support providers on the CU-Boulder campus. While we, the Offi ce of Information Technology (OIT), gladly facilitates these events - it is the collective efforts that enable CU-Boulder to operate effectively with technology. In encouraging these partnerships, this year’s theme, “The 5 Easy C’s,” will provide more great team building opportunities.

We hope that today’s session will give each of you a deeper understanding of major OIT initiatives and technology opportunities through vendor, OIT staff and campus partner presentations.
