Information technology is no longer a support function at the edges of university life — it's woven into how the College of Arts and Sciences (ASC) teaches, conducts research, and operates day to day. Very few academic projects, processes, or communications happen without it.

Because of that, ASC Technology Services doesn't just maintain systems — we help shape how the college works, now and going forward. As ASC works to lead in instruction and research, we:

• Explore what's next. We evaluate and adopt new technologies — including AI, virtual reality, and data-driven tools — where they can meaningfully advance teaching, research, and operations.
• Bring expertise you can rely on. Our team is engaged and knowledgeable, and invested in building and supporting the services that keep the college running.
• Hold ourselves to a high standard. From designing a solution to evaluating its impact, we aim for excellence at every stage — including keeping systems resilient and available when it matters most.
