ITSA is getting more involved in social networking in order to reach out to the student community.

First, ITSA now has a Twitter account! This is a new account with the purpose of keeping students up to date with all the events and other goings-on of ITSA. Give us a follow at: http://twitter.com/ucitsa. 

We're also now on Youtube! We're going to use this channel to upload videos of events and presentations so that those that couldn't attend can still benefit from it. Follow our channel at: http://www.youtube.com/user/UCITSA

This is just the beginning of an initiative with ITSA to reach out to the student body and really get people excited about technology. We're doing some great things and we want to get students involved!

Tues, Feb. 24, 3-5 PM in the OCAS hub (1st floor): Lips event. Stop by after or between classes, karaoke to your favorite songs with xbox lips, and get some FREE food!

Over this past weekend there has been a fire at the datacenter which www.uc-itsa.org was hosted at.

In addition, no customer servers were damaged or lost." For more information, there is a direct link to the data center's website.
