DoIT Community Outreach
The Division of Information Technology is a strong advocate of "The Wisconsin Idea" --
that the borders of the University are the borders of the State of Wisconsin. As such,
we lend expertise and service beyond the borders of the UW-Madison whenever possible and
practical. Current outreach projects range from technical, hardware and network service
to staff mentoring and training. Here is a complete list, with links to descriptions or
the project sites.
