Campus Technology Plan Goals Progress Report: (Informational – No Action Taken)
The chair presented the committee with a progress report for the goals from the 2012-2014 Campus
Technology Plan. David Balogh suggested some of the timelines indicate certain goals are ongoing, such as
the surveys of faculty, students, classified, and administrators, since these need to happen on a yearly
basis. Although many of the goals are still in progress, a lot of headway has been made, especially with
goal three (provide network stability) and goal four (provide network access).
Classified Senate Staff Development Day: (Informational – No Action Taken)
Susi Nitzel reminded the committee that the annual classified Staff Development Day is coming up on
Monday, November 11. She asked for volunteers to present a session. Email her if you are interested or if
you know someone who might be.
Campus Wide VoIP Training: (Informational – No Action Taken)
Don conducted training on the new VoIP phones for the Classified Professionals Technology Training series
yesterday. He did two trainings at FCC and one at Willow International. The training was offered to
classified staff, although as with all CP’s trainings, everyone is welcome if capacity permits. The trainings
were well attended. Susi suggested TAC sponsor a campus wide training on the VoIP phones before the fall
semester ends. There was general agreement. Susi will work with Don on setting something up.
Virtual Desktop: (Informational – No Action Taken)
VDI is currently available to certain student populations as a result of Title 5. Don has begun loading his
desktop onto the virtual desktop and says it is much faster. He is thinking of asking a couple of groups to
pilot the software before releasing it campus wide. There will be parameters enforced by Technology
Support Services, mainly concerning security and updates.

The subcommittee met last week. A link to the minutes is in the meeting folder for those interested. This is
