From the CIO
Faculty perspective makes ITS better. That is not a slogan. It is something I have come to believe from working with faculty across CSUB over the last few years, and it is why this page exists. ITS operates best when it engages with the academic work of the university as a partner, not a service provider. The opportunities on this page are how we do that. If you see something that fits, apply. If you have an idea for how we should be engaging with faculty that is not represented here, tell me directly.
