With hundreds of projects presented to the IT Division throughout the year, it is critical to understand the lasting impact on student success and utilize the best use of the limited financial and human resources available. To assist the University with critical initiatives, the IT Division created an acronym of RISE: Respond, Innovate, Secure, and Empower in selecting the most impactful projects, processes, and operations.

RISE signifies an enhancement of the original concept, indicating that the principles are being renewed and reinforced to meet current and future challenges. It emphasizes that the IT Division continually improves and adapts, ensuring these core values remain relevant and impactful.
