In University Information Technology Services (UITS), communication plays a vital role in our daily work – keeping teams aligned, informed, and ready to respond. In our fast-paced environment, where we manage sensitive information, high-impact research, and complex technical systems, staying connected in real-time is essential to keeping technology support running smoothly. But how well do you really know the communication platforms that power our work?

At the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix (COM-PHX), innovation isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a blueprint. With a unique blend of academic rigor, healthcare delivery, and advanced technology, the college is creating an environment where learning is hands-on, efficient, and highly adaptive. And behind that transformation is a collaborative team of UITS professionals, like Chris Dieterich, Instructional Support Manager, and Lorenzo Borean, Information Technology Manager, who are helping to shape a smarter infrastructure for education and research.

Professional communities of practice are vital to advancing innovation, leadership, and collaboration across higher education. At the University of Arizona, staff in the CIO Division actively participate in these national networks—helping shape conversations, share solutions, and raise the university’s profile across key areas like technology, cybersecurity, compliance, and CRM strategy.
