UC hosts successful annual Ohio higher education computing council

The University of Cincinnati played host to the Ohio Higher Education Computing Council in May, bringing together information technology organizations and professionals within institutions of higher education across the state.

The annual conference provides an opportunity for colleges and universities to share effective IT strategies, allowing ideas to be transferred to other campuses and enhancing education for students across Ohio and beyond. This includes statewide problem-solving committees, negotiating contracts to secure purchasing discounts for all schools, and cultivating lasting relationships among IT professionals.

"Hosting the OHECC Conference was an incredible opportunity to exchange ideas, build strategic partnerships, and align our efforts with statewide innovation in higher education technology. We hope that events like OHECC will continue to accelerate digital transformation at the University of Cincinnati.”

In addition to the keynote speakers, sessions were led by representatives from various Ohio universities and vendors. Topics were organized into four tracks centered on the theme of transforming higher education through digital innovation. This included academic IT policies and strategies, infrastructure, data management and information security, as well as instructional technologies and support.
