ITC Mission Statement

We provide and promote the information technology and communication bridge between the University community and its goals.

Vision

ITC will be an organization of dedicated, energetic professionals inspiring and guiding the members of the University community as they prepare for a world of rapidly developing technological innovations, thus furthering our founder's vision of the University as a preeminent institution of learning and research.

Values

Our work is guided by these values:

Commitment to Excellence

  • Our standard for individual and organizational performance is excellence in service to the University community.
  • We take pride in our ability to contribute to fulfilling the University's mission.

Commitment by the Individual

  • All individuals should be ascribed equal worth. Relations both among our staff and with members of the University community should be characterized by respect, helpfulness, sharing, tolerance, openness, honesty and good humor. Growth and change lie at the heart of our endeavor and entail risk; errors will be resolved openly and with tolerance. Disagreement will be used as a dynamic, positive force in our work.
  • Each of us is entrusted with our own well-being. We strive for a pace and routine of activity that will maximize productivity and minimize stress. We do our best to respect and support each individual's needs in this area.
  • Each will contribute a full measure of effort.

Commitment Between Individuals

  • We should access available resources, building on the experience, expertise and success of our peers, here and elsewhere, cultivating our individual and collective professional contacts to increase our productivity and extend our organization's resources.
  • We should develop our personal expertise by actively pursuing new knowledge and abilities, applying technology to our work and freely exchanging this knowledge with others.

Commitment to the Organization

  • We share in the ownership of ITC; its improvement and success is our on-going responsibility.
  • We promote open distributed decision-making and the related acceptance of responsibility.
  • Each of us owns problems until they have been solved.
  • Teamwork and cooperation are essential. We are viewed as members of the same team.

Commitment to Ethical Conduct

  • As computing professionals, we are entrusted with the safekeeping of a wide range of sensitive information. Each of us is obliged to support and abide by the legal and ethical standards that apply to information processing, including copyright law and rights of authorship, confidentiality and privacy.
  • We seek to use technology to enhance personal liberty rather than to compromise it.
  • We value the deep professional commitment we make to our vision, mission and goals. Our individual staff members are our most valuable resource.
