The Academic Technology Advisory Council (ATAC) advises the Enterprise Information Systems Committee and recommends policies, procedures, and projects related to the support of instructional and academic technologies and associated enterprise-related systems (EISC Procedures).  Reviews long-range strategic plans, and assists with software and hardware procurement strategies and trends for academic and instructional information technology to be used at CWU.  The ATAC will review the prioritization of instructional and academic technology projects, and recommend changes where appropriate.

Council Specifics and Responsibilities Include (but are not limited to):

• Making low to mid-level decisions regarding non-enterprise technology needs/requests and communicating those decisions as appropriate.


• Administrative Assistant services for ATAC are permanently provided by Multimodal Learning.
