To encourage collaboration and reinforce a sense of community among IT professionals at UConn, the Office of the CIO hosts two biannual events - ITS Town Halls and IT All Staff Conferences. At the Town Hall event, Michael Mundrane presents a topic about future directions for key IT initiatives or motivational concepts, such as culture, service, and professionalism. At the IT All Staff Conferences, we feature four IT success stories and provide opportunities for networking. All IT professionals at the University are invited to attend both events.
