Technology Committee

The purpose of Cypress College Campus Technology Committee (CTC) is to create a forum where all campus constituencies can participate in discussions related to planning and coordination of technology needs for the college. Participation ensures more effective integration and outcomes for all technology initiatives impacting teaching, learning, and administrative activities of the campus. It also ensures all constituencies are aware how technology initiatives align with Cypress College planning documents including, but not limited to, the Educational Master Plan, the Strategic Plan, the Student Services Master Plan, the Distance Education Plan, and the Campus Technology Plan.

The committee also provides a forum to discuss and better understand how District technology initiatives intersect with campus initiatives, providing a holistic understanding and coordinated vision to extract maximum value from all technology initiatives across the campus and District.

• The CTC is a campus committee chaired by the Director, Academic Computing Technologies.
• The CTC does not report to the District Technology Committee (DTC), but conversations and recommendations from the CTC are advanced to/from the DTC as appropriate.
