In December, 2021, the new Information Technology department (informally, Berkeley IT) was launched after an 18-month Organizational Design Project was completed. Beyond the name change from Information Services and Technology (IST), the new department was strategically realigned to better serve the needs of the campus community. New name, with the same great services to access at technology.berkeley.eduDedicated Berkeley IT staff partner with other teams across campus to provide technical support and services for students, faculty, staff, and alumni. This collaborative community is known as One IT. The accomplishments presented here are specific to Berkeley IT but a full list of campus priorities aimed at continuous improvement of the campus experience are outlined in the IT Strategic Plan
Information Technology's FY21 Operating Results & FY22 Budget can be found here.
IT continued to be a strategic enabler this year as the entire campus collectively continued to work, teach, and learn through the pandemic. Incredible feats were accomplished by Berkeley IT teams to deliver services and support to the campus community as COVID protocols shifted throughout the year. In fact, FY21 goals focused on COVID response and recovery priorities after hearing the collective voice of campus stakeholders and clients: Do less and focus on COVID-related activities including remote instruction, return to research, and remote work. The biggest overarching accomplishment has been supporting a fully remote 2020-21 academic year, then gearing up and supporting a hybrid model in both fall 2021 and spring 2022.
Information Technology is led by Jenn Stringer, Associate Vice Chancellor for IT and Chief Information Officer.
