It’s easy to think about information technology as
networks and computers, but IT is really the talented people who
design, implement and support our technology at UB. On
UBIT’s new website, there is a showcase which puts a face and
a name on IT in a module we call "IT Faces and Voices," modeled
after University Communications' feature.
Comment(?)
For example, Adam Zangerle, a Network Engineer responsible for
keeping UB connected, talks about never giving up on his goal of
returning to UB post-graduation. Felicia Ewert, a Client
Technologies Technician, discusses her role in keeping staff and
faculty protected and able to do their jobs. Anthony Smith, a
Customer Support Analyst, offers a look into supervising the CIT
Help Desk. There are several others featured.
IT Faces & Voices stories also offer a glimpse at the hobbies
and personal goals of each person, ranging from running marathons
to playing music or simply enjoying family time.

Computing and Information Technology at UB is more than 40 years
old. Here’s a look back at the Interface newsletter from March 1980.
