Transcript of Mike McKay's Welcome to Students

Hello. I'm Mike McKay, Executive Director for Computing and Information Technology at Rutgers University. On behalf of our staff, I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you.

In today's fast-moving world, it's hard to imagine a career that hasn't been transformed by the use of computer technology. Many students as they enter Rutgers have already experienced the advantages associated with computer literacy. Our students, in time and as studies require, become more knowledgeable utilizing computer resources. Whether novice or well-versed in multimedia, all students will have the opportunity to access the very best information systems and computer tools.

The Office of Information Technology and The Office of Information Technology are prepared to assist departments and individuals in these information technologies as a part of your education, a charge we take very seriously. The University's educational commitment is demonstrated by the implementation of a state of the art infrastructure that combines comprehensive data, video and voice to buildings and student housing across all campuses.

Combined with this integrated network, our computing facilities offer not only basic on-line internet, instruction and research services, but student services for class schedules, registration, grades and financial statement of accounts. Additionally, our computer facilities offer a wide variety of software titles, computer devices, and support staff standing ready to assist you.

To help you become more acquainted with our services, the Guide to Student Computing provides information we think you will find useful, such as creating accounts, location of computer resources, and many of our online student services.

Once again, welcome to Rutgers. Together we will meet the information challenges necessary in reaching your academic goals, and the quest for scholarly excellence.
