The Mission of Information Technology

The mission of the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is to provide an environment that promotes and nurtures independent and self-directed Learning, Teaching, Research and Service in veterinary medicine and related disciplines. The College of Veterinary Medicine Information Technology (CVM IT) Group is committed to providing Technology Equipment, Hardware and Software Services, technical support, and training.

The mission of the College of Veterinary Medicine Information Technology (IT) Group is to facilitate and make available an appropriate information technology environment that provides to each student, faculty member, staff member, and visitor the information technology access, resources, and support that the College has established as necessary to meet the ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Information Technology mission. The computing environment as a must is managed in such a way that assures high levels of reliability and usefulness in a cost-effective manner as much as possible. While providing open access to information, the group must maintain suitable protection of personal and other confidential information.

The College of Veterinary Medicine IT group in conjunction with the ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ IT department provides leadership to assist policy- and priority-making groups in the decision-making process of identification, and planning, and recommends possible strategies in information technology matters. The group is mandated to provide as must information about new opportunities and changes that arise in technology from commercial vendors and other sources to individuals and groups throughout the College, while also seeking to mitigate the adverse impact of too rapid technological changes. The group must constantly be aware of changing information technological needs throughout the College, adapting the information environment as necessary to meet new priorities. The safety of people installing, maintaining, and using technology is a high priority and the group is committed to providing continuous improvement in service
