University Committees:
In order to facilitate the appropriate use of technology at Tufts for teaching, learning and research, UIT academic technology leaders participate on University-wide committees:
IT Leaders Forum (ITLF)
University Committee on Teaching and Faculty Development (UCTFD)
University Library Council (ULC)
These committees provide an opportunity for faculty and staff from Tufts' different schools to work together to identify strategic and operational goals at Tufts and to determine how technology can be best used at Tufts to impact teaching, learning and research.
