TAC Representatives

TAC Membership

TAC representatives serve as liaisons between their departments and the broader technology-user community and supporting departments. Each member serves a staggered two-year term. Responsibilities include:

  • Communicating the technology agendas of their departments (i.e. IS, IRT, Library).
  • Sharing pedagogical information.
  • Brainstorming technological weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and solutions.
  • Disseminating technological information and updates to their departments.

Each TAC member has one vote. TAC members unable to attend a meeting due to conflicts are asked to send a replacement for the meeting who will assume the representative’s responsibilities and voting privilege.

TAC membership consists of:

  • One faculty member from each Academic Department of the University.
  • One representative from each of the following departments or offices:
    • Instruction and Research Technology (IRT)
    • Library faculty
    • Directors from designated support units
