There will be no HDC Brown Bag Users' Group Meeting this month. Instead, please join us at the CSC/HDC Conference on November 12th, from 1:30 to 4:30pm in the 2nd floor lounge of Ackerman Union. Space is limited, so RSVP soon!

With the school year well under way, the campus is kicking into high gear and so is the flu season. To stay up-to-date regarding the illness, please Chancellor Block's message to UCLA staff as well as visit http://www.ucla.edu/flu for important recommendations and additional information.

The Cost Savings and Efficiencies Task Force put together a report earlier this year regarding recommendations for reducing administrative costs and improving operational efficiency, with section 11 (page 67) of the report specifically addressing the IT field. You can find the report at http://evc.ucla.edu/reports/budget-toolbox-reports.
