CCIT has three standing advisory boards that serve to advise our direction on strategic technology issues.  The Academic Technology Council (ATC) is commissioned by the Faculty Senate to be the official faculty IT advisory function, and the IT Student Advisory Board (ITSAB) is the official student advisory body. Both groups are important to our IT organization on key issues around advanced computing.

Academic Technology Council – Dr. Christopher Post, Chair

The Academic Technology Council serves Clemson in several ways as it acts as the faculty advisory board for both Clemson Computing and Information Technology and Clemson Online.  This group, made up of representatives from each of Clemson’s seven academic colleges and beyond, advocates for faculty interests in IT policies and projects.  The ATC also initiates and participates in future-oriented IT projects on learning and research, and helps to invent next-generation learning programs and opportunities at Clemson.  Moreover, the group’s primary goal is to be proactive, not reactive with regard to educational technology.

IT Student Advisory Board – Mr. Brad Green, Chair

The IT Student Advisory Board is a governance group comprised of undergraduate and graduate students from across the colleges at Clemson University.  The board’s main purpose is to provide feedback to the CIO and CCIT Senior Staff on business and strategic decisions, but we also have the unique opportunity to drive 10% of the student IT fees toward IT-related projects and initiatives.  In the past, this 10% has led to the funding of projects ranging from mobile development to the purchasing of new printers and other technologies in the library and academic buildings across campus.
