The College of Arts and Sciences Information Technology (CASIT) is “committed to creating an environment where technology allows our faculty, graduate students, and staff to achieve the highest standards of academic inquiry, learning, and service.” To support this mission CASIT provides a range of IT services to CAS faculty, staff, and GTFs, including personal computing hardware and software (help desk, computer replacement and purchasing, secure network storage, subsidies for new faculty, and instructional laptop checkout), web programming and server support (website and web application design, development and management), training on campus related IT services and software (Canvas, WordPress/Edublogs, Qualtrics, and Google Apps for Education, among others), and remote testing/proctoring services to departments conducting online courses.
In addition, the Social Science Instructional Labs are available to assist students, staff, and faculty with innovative instructional technology applications in the social sciences, such as a two-station visualization lab as well as GIS and multiple-regression analysis software. The Data Services Lab offers free data services to faculty and students, including secure access to US Census, and Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ISCPR) data. CASIT also provides scientific computing access and support on ACISS, the university’s high performance computing cluster.
