OIT 2024: A Year in Review

Your partners in research and educational excellence

The 5 IT Guiding Principals are 1. Lead with collaboration to enable the mission and provide excellent constituent service.  2. Drive innovation from Within. 3. Build trust with all communities at Rice through structure, communication, and efficacy. 4. Facilitate learning, scholarship, and speed to scientific innovation. 5. Invest wisely in the right tech for the right reasons.

As we kick off 2025, we wanted to share with our colleagues many of OIT’s accomplishments from last year. We invite you to read 2024: A Year in Review (Rice login required) that highlights team achievements for 2024. While many of the items are technical in nature, we hope you will get an understanding of the partnerships with many campus groups to improve technology resources and services for the university.

Like many divisions at Rice, OIT engaged in reflection and strategic planning in 2024. Our new vision, guiding principles, and operating model are aligned with the university’s Momentous plan and the Division of Operations, Finance & Support’s strategic mission and vision. OIT’s goal is to join with campus to become “Your partners in research and educational excellence.”
