This Friday: Web Environment

Join us this Friday at 10:00 AM in OWEN Room 222 for a presentation about the VU web environment from Peter Woods, Manager of Computer Operations in ITS Application Hosting.

We'll spend the second half of the meeting as a meet-n-greet (think Happy Hour, without the liquids).

Happy Hour

Mark Your Calendars for Happy Hour in June

The next digitalVU Happy Hour will be June 23 (location to come). We had a great group of about 25 at the March Happy Hour at Boscos. Everyone had a great time getting to know new people and talking about all the cool projects they're working on.
