Blue Ribbon Committee on Information Technology Excellence

Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi asked a blue ribbon committee to develop a vision that integrates information technology and digital knowledge resources. The goal is to improve scholarship and academic life at UC Davis.

“To most effectively achieve the goals of the Vision of Excellence, we must optimize the collaborative research and learning environments enabled by powerful and ubiquitous Internet and telecommunications technologies,” the chancellor says in her committee charge letter.

Plans call for developing a wiki to share ideas on the topic, according to co-chair Dennis Pendleton, dean of University Extension. The wiki address will be added to this site after it has been created.

The committee presented its report and recommendations to Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi in March 2011:

• Read the committee charge letter
• Chancellor's letter and committee membership
• Committee's final report (3/2011)
• Appendix
