PIVOTAL MOMENTS
We are facing one of the most pivotal moments for technology and education, and ISC is focused on propelling Penn to the forefront of innovation and excellence. Post pandemic, we are focused on new ways of working, teaching, and learning with technologies like AI, VR, and cloud computing. ISC is committed to being the best partner to our world class professors, brilliant students, and driven researchers.
To accomplish this, we worked with campus stakeholders to develop the Penn IT Strategic Plan to anticipate the impact of technology over the next five years. This work was done to ensure alignment with Penn’s new strategic framework, In Principle and Practice.
