Outreach to Campus Groups

In an effort to keep the CU Boulder campus involved with and informed of OIT events, OIT has developed outreach programs for community members in IT roles.

IT Departmental Contacts (ITDCs)

Typically one or two staff members in a department are designated as IT departmental contacts (ITDCs). In most cases, these individuals are also IT practitioners (ITPs).

We automatically subscribe ITDCs to the OIT Weekly, OIT news and service alerts. ITDCs are responsible for sharing relevant updates with their departments, especially information related to planned maintenance, service outages and changes to OIT service offerings.

IT Practitioners (ITPs)

CU Boulder staff members with an IT job code are considered IT practitioners (ITPs). We encourage ITPs to:

  • Subscribe to the OIT Weekly, OIT news and service alerts.
  • Join the IT Community of Practice.

All Other Interested Individuals

If you're not an ITDC or ITP, but you'd like to stay on top of OIT news and service alerts, we encourage you to:
