ITServices Outreach

 

It is ITServices' goal to establish and maintain an open conversation with our stakeholders, the members of the Queen's community. We want to build meaningful channels of communication to let you know about our service offerings and the ways in which we support the faculty, students and staff of Queen's. At the same time, we want to know what's on your mind - how we can improve our current service offerings, and what IT issues are of concern to you.

Outreach Brown Bags

 

ITServices hosts Outreach Brown Bags several times per year, where we share IT-related news, services and best practices with you, and invite you to present novel IT-related ideas and solutions from within your faculty or department.

 

To view presentations from past Outreach Brown Bags, please visit the Queen's Wiki. (Note: you will have to log in with your NetID and password to access these materials.)

 

To receive invitations to Outreach Brown Bags, please subscribe to the ITS-INFO mailing list (see below).

ITS-INFO Mailing List

 

One way for us to communicate with you is through the ITS-INFO mailing list. Everyone who is an ITAdmin Rep is automatically subscribed to this list, as well as a number of other individuals who filled out our survey in the fall of 2008 asking to be kept informed of ITServices activities. This list is primarily used for the following:

 

• to invite you to ITServices Outreach Brown Bags (approximately three per year);
• to announce schedules for ITServices Professional Development events (Workshops, Lectures and Showcases), generally Fall, Winter and Spring; and
• to let you know about any significant changes or additions to our service offerings.

Because subscribers to this list will be the first on campus to be notified of ITServices events, you'll have first crack at registering for our free Professional Development sessions.

 

If you are not on this mailing list and would like to be added, please send an email to: pr@queensu.ca.

Student Advisory Committee

 

The Information Services and Technology - Student Advisory Committee (ISAT-SAC) was formed by ITServices in 2012 to provide a forum for students to share their concerns and priorities about information technology at Queen's University. The committee's membership includes representatives from student societies across campus.  The committee discusses current and new IT initiatives, and is mandated to develop a report each year and to present this to ITServices management.  ITServices management in turn responds to the report to answer student concerns and to continue the communication process.

 

To find terms of reference, minutes and reports, please visit the ISAT-SAC Wiki space.
