User and Special Interest Groups

"In one approach to services targeted to local providers of computing, for example, the model builds on one of Penn's great strengths, a flourishing informal network of campus experts who help each other solve problems and work together on campus projects."
-- Penn's New Model for Computing Services

Campus user and special interest groups have a particularly important place within Penn's distributed model for computing services, improving communication and encouraging adoption of standards and best practices across schools and units. These groups provide an opportunity for computing staff on campus with common interests or technology needs to work together and support one another through information sharing and work on campus projects and teams. Presentations by units testing new or emerging technologies, or implementing technology solutions of broad interest at Penn, enable others to leverage the knowledge gained from their experience.
