Special Thanks to This Year's Sponsors!
Program
The technical program is the heart of the conference. This year’s theme embodies the spirit of St. Louis. Lewis and Clark began their great expedition from St. Louis. They explored new territories, formed alliances with new groups of people and overcame numerous challenges on a daily basis and as a result paved the way for the United States to triple in size. Sound familiar?
Communication and collaboration happen within all layers of an IT organization and throughout an institution. In fact, it is increasingly necessary and important as web based technologies challenge the “control” that IT organizations once had over the types of technologies used on campus. New technologies are being developed to support these initiatives. The ability to communicate and collaborate on a personal level and to provide technologies that support these ideas is becoming increasingly critical to our success.
Technical Program
The heart of the SIGUCCS Fall Conference are the two and a half days
of technical presentations. The technical program consists of over 100
paper and poster presentations
submitted by participants on topics
falling within six main tracks:
- Instructional Support
- Training and Documentation
- Management
- Customer Support
- Technology
- Poster Session
Poster Session
SIGUCCS highlights a poster session at every fall conference.
The Poster session is a 2-hour, walk-up event that allows people to share
their campus experiences
with colleagues on a one-to-one basis. As the name suggests, each person
who is presenting in the event prepares a poster. Presenters illustrate
their topic through a set of prepared materials attached to a poster board
and via laptops/screens, handouts, or other visual or tactile methods.
Their poster exhibitions explain their research or experience topic. Poster
presentations state the problem, emphasizes the methods of approach, and
address the solutions (completed or pending).
Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions (BOFs)
Following the adage that "Birds of a Feather flock together", Birds-of-a-Feather sessions are informal opportunities for you and your colleagues to meet and discuss topics of common interest. BOF sign-up sheets will be available at the Conference Information area. You can attend a BOF that interests you, or create your own BOF.
