IT Day Coming to SIU in August
IT Day began in 2013 as a day for
IT staff from all SIU campuses
to converge for the purpose of
building relationships, encouraging
collaboration between campuses and
among colleagues and sharing ideas.
The inaugural event took place in
August 2014. Subsequent events are
scheduled to circulate between the
three SIU campuses: Carbondale
in 2015, Springfield in 2016 and
Edwardsville in 2017.
As host for IT Day 2015, the planning
team at SIU Carbondale has developed
a robust schedule of engaging sessions
for IT Day participants. Our goal
is to provide value for every
minute spent.
•Technology Space Design, Dean of
Morris Library
•Survive Your Career: Stress
and Health Management for IT
Professionals
In addition to general keynote
sessions, each keynote speaker will
also run a two- or three-hour Master
Class to drill down on topics with
interested participants.
Conference attendees who do not
choose to attend Master Classes will
have an array of other interesting
options.
The IT Day conference is
scheduled for Wednesday, August
12, 2015 at Morris Library. The
theme for IT Day is: “Think big!
Initiate action! Push limits!”
We selected this theme to set a
positive tone for the day and year
to come.
Tentative participants and topics
include:
•Roundtable: A Vision for SIU: Where
Are We Headed – How Can We All
Contribute to That Future?
•Courageous Leadership: a Steve
Jobs Primer to Success, Dr. Bruce
DeRuntz, Leadership Development
Director, SIU Carbondale, Professor
•Engaging Online Audiences, Curt
Bonk
•Sustainable Green/Clean IT,
Richard Hodges, President, Green IT
Morris Library offers a large selection
of technology-enabled classrooms
and collaborative workspaces.
These spaces will be used for niche
presentations, roundtables, and
workshops. Topics of these specialized
sessions may include developing
leaders, effecting change, promoting
efficiency, increasing professionalism,
mentoring personnel, encouraging
entrepreneurial spirit, and seizing
opportunities as well as technology
niche subjects like app development
and cyber security.
Technology-related tours of SIU
Carbondale create an opportunity
to show visitors unique aspects of
technology on the SIUC campus.
These tours are slated throughout the
day. Campus experts will conduct
these tours and have the opportunity
to discuss an area that allows them to
share their expertise. There is a choice
of tours:
•Wonderland – A tour of the Mobile
Dawg Setup Site.
•Aviation and Automotive Technology
– A tour of the advanced IT
components of these programs,
including flight simulators and
automotive technologies.
•Technology Spaces Design
Tour– A tour with the architect
and designers responsible for the
Morris Library renovation.
•Security Efforts at McLafferty
Annex Collaborative Research
Facility – A tour explaining
the environmental and fiscally
responsible renovations and IT
use of the facility.
•Saluki Technology Store – Our
campus-owned retail store and the
story behind its setup and operations.
•SIU Technology Park – Our campus
business/technology incubator.
•SIU Carbondale Campus Tour – An
overall view for visitors.
The IT Day team is making plans to
stream, record and post content of the
day’s speakers for those who cannot
attend the live events.
