To our One IT community,

We have all heard — and some of us have experienced — how having a mentor to offer guidance can make a huge difference in any given career path. But identifying as a woman, and having a great woman as that mentor can be a total game changer.

One IT colleagues,

UPCOMING EVENTS

The Data Governance Committee, the most recent group chartered by the IT Strategy Committee to bring stakeholder governance to IT domains across the campus, held its inaugural meeting Thursday morning, September 22.

Imagine a technology that could remove planet-warming emissions from smokestacks, turn moisture in the air into drinking water and transform carbon dioxide into clean energy.

A new UC Berkeley institute will bring together top machine learning and chemistry researchers to make this vision a reality, and a Bay Area foundation is providing a substantial gift to launch and enable this work at UC Berkeley over the next five years.

Colleagues,

We are writing to inform you of a brief Zoom outage this morning. The service was down for a short period between 7:35 - 8:35 a.m. this morning but the issue has now been resolved by the vendor. 

Some reminders if you get inquiries:

To our campus community,

Our continuous monitoring of the network user experience this week shows the Wi-Fi issues that campus experienced during the start of the semester have been resolved.  

We recognize that these issues have significantly impacted instruction and learning, and we apologize.

Colleagues, 

One IT colleagues,

Message updated on Sept. 8 as support options and number of devices connecting to Wi-Fi have changed.

To our campus community,

Despite our best efforts to stabilize the network for a smooth start of the semester, our monitoring of campus Wi-Fi has shown challenges in connecting during the peak times between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. 

When classes returned to in-person instruction in the fall of 2021, there were a multitude of challenges faced by campus staff who support students, instructors, and the overall classroom experience. The number of students who needed captioning services to participate in class had grown exponentially while the resources to expand these services remained uncertain. These are the pivotal moments when collaboration between teams and innovative ideas can lead to positive solutions for everyone involved.
