UITS held a Quarterly Open Forum on December 13th.
CIO Michael Milligan welcomed new employee hires, announced service anniversaries and promotions, and honored colleague-nominated Most Valued Behaviors (MVB) Program Challenge Coin Award Recipients!
And of course, we ate! For our first Open Forum at 50 Washington Street, we had the very delicious opportunity to work with Simon Guy from Sebastian's Café and Catering and Michael brought quite a selection from world-famous Kane’s Donuts. It was a pleasure having catering in the building again.
It would not be a department meeting without presentations therefore, included were 2-3 “Rapid-Fire” Internal Presentations from UITS employees.
We always welcome other departments, campuses and vendors to present interesting topics and relatable projects at the Open Forums. Therefore, if you would like to present to UITS at our next Open Forum on April 25, 2024, please contact Kelly Fucci at kfucci@umassp.edu.
