UCS Makes Some Changes
The UCS department has made some organization changes, and these changes have resulted in physical moves for some of the staff. I am excited that Dale Goodell will be moving down here to the Physical Plant with me. The two of us will have responsibility for maintaining the university's Oracle databases, in addition to our regular programming duties.
The department has been divided into functional areas, and a manager for each area was named. Bill K. remains as the UCS Director. Travis is the Assistant Director and the Systems Team manager. Michael Ellis is the Programming Manager. I am the Auxilliary Team and DBA manager. The programmers will be in the area where Summer, Alex, Paul and Travis are now. The systems folks will all be back in Joe's area. Joanie and the receiving area are moving into the space where Dale and Ron are.
The reorganization is an effort to group persons doing the same type of work together, and to add in another level of management to have more direct control over the many projects that UCS is constantly working on. Also, we need to accommodate the new members of UCS - Teresa Bybee, Bill Nix, Ken Sauer, and Stewart Gilbert.
One thing about the world of IT - it is never dull!
