This section of the website features information about recent, current and future IT plans and initiatives at Franklin & Marshall. The goal is to describe the goals and scope of our major projects, including what the project is about, why we are doing it, and what the projected time-line is for completing components of each project. We have listed our Strategic Priorities for the upcoming 2009-2010 Academic Year. We have also provided an overview of the IT Infrastructure and Systems in place at Franklin & Marshall to give you some context for our efforts. We hope you find this section useful and welcome your feedback. --Jon Enos, CIO
