Email, wireless and other information technology services

Information technology is vital to the University’s ability to meet its teaching and research missions. With our society’s transformation from a manufacturing-based to a service-based economy, information technology is now an integral part of all management activities. This is particularly true at the University, whose main function is one of discovery and dissemination of new knowledge.

All IT staff members are fully aware of the University’s management and research requirements and do their utmost to meet expectations.
