This group would keep the research and teaching needs prominently in the forefront of all decisions to ensure that the goals of the University's Academic Plan are met. This group includes representation from Teaching Assistants (TAs) and Graduate Assistants (GAs).
- A Student User Group, the Student Technology Advisory Group (STAG) comprised of undergraduate, graduate, Storrs, regional campus, full and part-time students, is charged with ensuring student input into the decision making process for IT. This group is to foster awareness of student user needs.
