The addition of a search function — a popular feature request — was just the beginning of a major overhaul of the University of Utah app that connects users to campus resources on the go.

Before each new semester, UIT teams and their IT counterparts across campus and University of Utah Health practice a proactive form of “fire prevention” that involves planning IT changes, maintaining software licenses, and leveraging cloud-based resources.

UIT is proud to unveil ai.utah.edu, a website dedicated to artificial intelligence-related resources and initiatives at the University of Utah. The website is part of a broader effort to find common ground on how generative AI tools should and shouldn’t be used for learning and work.

While using an external provider for websites with no sensitive data isn’t against university policy, those services often do not meet the university’s accessibility, branding, and IT security standards, potentially affecting the U’s reputation and safety.

Sarijlou, a U alum who joined UIT about a decade ago as a service architect for the Kuali project, says his work allows him to pursue his passions for technology and contributing to the academic community.

Content Management & Usability has changed its name to Web Support & Usability, which better reflects the team's services. Additionally, the team is moving its support process to a ServiceNow-based ticketing system.

The Student Engineering Team in University Support Services develops, improves, and maintains student-facing technologies for various campus partners, as well as oversees a student management system called Northstar.

The changes — which include improved app design and navigation, among other things — were driven by student feedback, department requests, and usage data.

Ensuring that your designs, presentations, social media, venues, websites, and more are accessible completely transforms the events and communications experience for the 26% of U.S. adults who have a disability.
