MyUCLA — the campus portal that enables students to register for classes, check their grades, track financial aid, plan their social calendars and more — is a Golden Award winner in the University of California’s 2014 Larry L. Sautter Awards.
The annual award, which is sponsored by the UC Information Technology Leadership Council, recognizes innovations in IT that advance the university’s missions of teaching, research, public service and patient care, or that improve the effectiveness of university processes. Established in 2000, the award is named after Larry L. Sautter, a UC Riverside associate vice chancellor for computing and communications who died in 1999. Under his leadership, a modern data network, client server computing and improved technical support services were developed and implemented at Riverside.
MyUCLA, launched last fall, is the culmination of two years of information-gathering, planning, designing, programming and testing to fulfill a longstanding student request for a website that integrates functions from multiple UCLA websites. The intensive upgrade was the work of a collaboration among Student Affairs, Information Technology Services and the Division of Undergraduate Education in the UCLA College.
