Report showcases digital transformation underway at UC

The 2023-24 report looks back at key milestones that support the university’s digital transformation goals to increase IT operational excellence, bolster cybersecurity and resiliency, and modernize IT infrastructure and systems.

The report also showcases examples of digital transformation already happening at the university.

Highlights include:

• 911 Transformation: UC rolled out a new, state-of-the-art 911 system in 2024 that will help improve emergency response times on campus and can help support the safety of the surrounding local community.
• AI Symposium: A day-long event at Tangeman University Center explored topics around AI in education, learning technologies, research, innovation, ethics, policy, and social impact. Presentations included keynotes from UC’s Dr. Kelly Cohen and former Synchrony Financial Chief Technology Officer Greg Simpson as well as 16 breakout sessions led by UC students, faculty, and staff.  
• Bearcats Health App: The app uses optical character recognition and artificial intelligence features to securely scan, digitize, and validate required student immunization and screening records.

“Digital transformation happens when people, processes, and technology come together on behalf of our purpose—student success,” said UC Vice President & Chief Digital Officer Bharath Prabhakaran. “DTS’s partnerships with UC students, faculty, and staff will continue to help accelerate Next Lives Here at UC.”
