Colleagues,
It was great to see several of you in Santa Barbara at the UCTech conference July 15-17. If you were unable to attend, you can still browse the sessions and, in the coming weeks, Zoom recordings of the presentations will be available on the conference website. I enjoyed being on an engaging panel discussion entitled Walking the Walk: The CIO Pledge for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion that was held on day one.

Sautter Award Winners
System-wide CIO Tom Andriola announced the winners of this year’s Sautter Awards on July 16. The award, sponsored by the UC Information Technology Leadership Council, recognizes collaborative innovations in IT that advance the university’s missions of teaching, research, public service and patient care, or that improve the effectiveness of university processes. The award encourages collaboration and solution sharing across the UC system.
Congratulations to our Golden award winners from UC Berkeley:
- Street Story – A Platform for Community Engagement (UC Berkeley) is a community engagement tool that allows residents and community organizations to collect information about transportation collisions, near-misses, general hazards and safe locations to travel. The platform and the information collected are free to use and publicly accessible.
- System-wide Collaboration on Accessibility: The Siteimprove Implementation Project (all UC locations) represents a collaborative system-wide effort to select, purchase, and implement at all UC locations resources to help make public-facing websites accessible to people with disabilities. These resources are the Siteimprove web accessibility tool, which monitors websites, and fourteen e-courses on accessibility.
