Technology Council
 

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 Committee 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 address the goals of the Technology Council. Minutes of the meetings are posted at h:\tc (on-campus only) on the Aquinas network. Major campus-wide projects take place during the summer, beginning in May.
