Aquinas College :: Information Technology and Services

The Technology Council was instituted in the fall of 1997. To assist in bringing the College's Web presence into updated institutional branding policies, the Web Advisory Commitee was created as a sub-committee of the Technology Council. In the fall of 2007, this committee was dissolved and its members brought on board the Technology Council.

Members of the Aquinas faculty and staff serve on the Technology Council as representatives of various divisions and departments to help communicate and determine the current technological needs of the college. Technology Projects are prioritized by the Technology Council. Minutes of the meetings are posted at h:\tc (on-campus only) on the Aquinas network.
