BEA2026

Nobody loves navigating bureaucratic IT processes. Do you have a VPAT? Is the HECVAT up to date? Did you fill out a ticket? Oh, that was the wrong ticket.

This panel will explore strategies for navigating IT processes when implementing an equipment management system or other technology solution within a media program. We'll explore topics like single sign-on, DNS, security, and all of the other topics which can throw a wrench in a technology rollout. Panelists will bring together a wide range of experiences, from institutions of varying sizes and complexities.

Moderator: Colin McFadden, University of Minnesota
Panelists: Jane Bannester, Lindenwood University,
David Stephenson, University of Kentucky
Chris Strobel, Northern Kentucky University
