This is the first in a series of weekly summaries from the UNC ITS network assessment project management team.  Our goal is to keep you up-to-date in a summary format so you can continue to provide informed leadership on this project.

At the end of our first week, we have performed initial campus visits at six UNC campuses:  Fayetteville State, North Carolina State, Western Carolina, Winston-Salem State, East Carolina and UNC Asheville. 

In most cases, initial campus visits consisted of UNC Network Team members meeting with campus network representatives to discuss the assessment methodology, worksheets, and campus resources available to help gather the necessary information.  In some cases team members assisted campus network reps in the assessment process.  We are currently one campus ahead of schedule on our initial campus visits.

Project managers distributed the following documents to chancellors, IT managers, and network managers at the sixteen campuses:

This week (3/23 - 3/27) team members are working on initial campus visits at a new group of five campuses: NC School of the Arts, NC A&T, NC Central, Elizabeth City State and UNC Pembroke.

Thank you for your continued support of this project. Please contact us if you need copies of any documents or have questions about the project.
