- IT/Infrastructure Services – responsible for the implementation of centralized network systems and technology at the College. A Director of Infrastructure Services has been hired.

- IT/Service Desk with a mission to provide a single point of contact for students, faculty and staff to assist them in resolving problems with software, network connectivity issues, hardware issues and problems with college IT operations.
