This Information Technology Strategic Plan demonstrates Mohawk Valley Community College's commitment to long-term planning within a wide range of technologies. Initiatives are collected from all areas of the College during a meeting with the Executive Director of Information Technology. Each area is encouraged to invite as many representatives as they deem necessary to fully relay the priorities of the area.

Information Technology Department - Mission Statement

The Information Technology Department provides students, faculty, and staff with computing, multimedia and telecommunication based-resources for the effective instruction of our students; and by which to record, manage, and report data related to student service, administrative, and financial transactions of the college.

Information Technology Department - Vision Statement

The Information Technology Department strives to equip faculty, staff, and students with up-to-date computer hardware and software that is evaluated on a regular basis for serviceability and effectiveness. We strive to provide computer resources with which students can learn, and our faculty and staff can perform their tasks with reliable technology and relevant support services.

Information Technology Department - Guiding Principles

As members of the Information Technology Department, we recognize that we are a Service Department. Services we provide are not only for our colleagues, College Departments or to our Students; but also to each other within our department. Each of us are responsible to first and foremost, provide assistance to our teammates. In doing so, each of us can be confident that we have a full team behind us for our day-to-day work. One should never feel alone on a project and should never hesitate to ask a teammate for assistance.

Job descriptions are a given reality and we each have defined job duties. But we believe that "other duties as defined" is just as important as our conclusively
defined duties.

We strive to work in pairs or small groups, and routinely change and customize the makeup of these groups to match the stated project.
