Happy to report that the workshop went fantastically well! We had a great range of attendees, from all around the U.S. and even Denmark and Canada. Also a great range of professional backgrounds; doctoral students, Deans, faculty, district administrative staff - it made for some really interesting discussions and everyone came away knowing more about using social media at their college.

Into the Cloud
Like it or not, most of our server-based systems will soon be moving to cloud-hosted systems. This means software enabled database systems such as SARS and even newer student tracking systems like Tutor Trac - programs that are used to schedule student visits to counselors and track student contact hours with tutors and academic support - will all be completely operated away from the campus. No more expensive, complicated server systems to maintain, no more IT staff who's main job is restoring physical connections to lab computers - it will all be gone.
