Our Governance Model includes a Provost-charged, top-level executive committee, consisting of representatives from the Chancellor’s Senior Leadership Team, to serve as a decision-making body responsible for ensuring the strategic alignment of IT, making appropriate investments, managing risks and fostering IT innovation.

Our Portfolio Governance Structure will create a decision-making framework that organize IT services and resource into strategic portfolios, like Teaching & Learning, enabling coordinated oversight, resource allocation and alignment with campus priorities.

Together this creates a more formal way of working within the IT community.

The Research Technology Support Ecosystem is comprised of a continually evolving collection of services, resources and people that are interconnected with one another in their support of each other to enable researchers to achieve their goals.
