Just wondered what your IT depts. did in the way of open days?
We don’t do anything regularly here but want to start something, even it is
just having a stall at the Freshers’ Fair. However we do want to target all
students and staff. We did have an ‘IT Showcase’ a few years back, which was
open to all, but it wasn’t too well attended and mainly focussed on what the
new IT Strategy would mean in practice (i.e. more centralisation etc.) We
had things like rolling presentations on upcoming projects (e.g. IP
Telephony) and stands covering HPC, Windows 7 etc.
If you do something, how do you engage everyone? And is it just a general
‘these are what services we offer and this is how to get help’, or do you go
beyond that?
Thanks in advance
