Committee seeks ideas for projects to improve information technology

March 15, 2010

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The University of Florida Technology Fee Advisory Committee is seeking ideas for how to improve or enhance current information technology services or create new ones.

Any student, faculty or staff member is invited to submit a concept paper before April 12. Based on the committee’s review, some submitters will be invited to prepare a full project proposal. With assistance for technical groups, the committee will then evaluate and prioritize recommendations for project funding. Recommendations will go to the UF Chief Information Officer. The projects will be funded by the technology fee that became effective last fall.

“The committee is looking forward to creative ideas for new services and infrastructure improvements that will improve learning outcomes,” said Fedro Zazueta, professor and associate chief information officer.
