TigerTech Rock Stars!
Presented by: Michael Nease and Michelle Schlyer, Fort Hays State University
Being a smaller university gives Fort Hays some interesting support opportunities. After a significant restructuring of Technology Services in Fall 2015, we have created, TigerTech, a unique support structure that offers personal service ranging from phone directory assistance and general information to technical computer support. You will see how we merged three separate departments into one, and how it has worked for us so far. Our team of 20+ students and 9 full timers mostly reside in a convenient office suite with a lobby to assist walk-ins. TigerTech is the first point of contact for students, visitors, faculty, and staff to address all sorts of questions from navigation of various FHSU systems, classroom A/V support, and more!
