Beginning in 1995, the College of Liberal Arts employed staff to assist departmental faculty and staff in their use of computing technology for their administrative and instructional needs. While increased use of computing technologies, including e-mail, the Internet, electronic forms, and the like, represent opportunity for enhanced productivity and communication, it also presents the challenge of increasing the complexity of day-to-day work. The increasing number of technology positions at the College is evidence of this environmental shift. View the TS Staff directory
