Campus LISA 2021

The ESR SIS project has spent the last 2 years on an intensive business process analysis effort, speaking with hundreds of staff, faculty, and students in order to understand the current state of the university's student services, identify opportunities for improvement, and together envision the future we want to see. We are now performing "pre-hab" on reporting needs and system integrations. Altogether, this work is paving the way for a future where we see human-centered problem-solving at the core of the SIS.

Technologies/Skills Covered: Lean Six Sigma, business process analysis, Student Information System, activity hubs, reporting, long term strategic planning

Presenters:

• Katie Frehafer, User Experience/Technical Project Manager, Division of Biological Sciences
• Jonathan Whitman, Director of Student & Faculty Information Services, Information Technology Services
• Andrew Kaplan, Director of Client & Student Services, Extension
• David Garrison, Senior Associate Registrar, Enrollment Management
• Brian Smith, Project Manager, IT Services

In this presentation, the following projects will be discussed:

1. SeedMeLab - a scientific data management system and
2. HubZero - A platform for web-based research collaboration for communities
3. Emerging needs for research computing and data from the web

Technologies/Skills Covered: SeedMeLab's Drupal-based platform, HubZero's custom CMS, Docker containers, VNC and other technologies

Presenter: 

• Amit Chourasia, Senior Visualization Scientist, SDSC

We will discuss the articulation of the development of a real-time data view of the spatial sewer system with mobile sample tracking capability and the ability to link laboratory testing data for timely analysis. In an informative and secure manner, results are furnished to UC San Diego constituents, external agencies, and the public. This workflow increases efficiency and awareness concerning COVID-19 testing and tracing by integrating rich interconnected geospatial data and lab results to inform audiences accurately.

Technologies/Skills Covered: Esri, ArcGIS Online, Geoprocessing tools

Presenters: 

• Diana Henderson, Campus Space Analyst, Planning Design & Construction
• Yijian Zong, Data Science Intern, OSI

Contracts and Grants that require compliance with NIST 800-171 continue to grow, as does our program to address the DoDs CMMC requirements. This talk will provide an overview of the problem, where we are in our program, and what the next 5 years will look like.

Technologies/Skills Covered: handling regulated data

Presenters:

• Michael Corn, CISO, UC San Diego
• Carolyn Ellis, CMMC Program Manager, UC San Diego

In this session, we will discuss what a privacy review of third parties looks like. We will talk about how to vet your collaborators early for privacy concerns, and you will walk away with an understanding of the questions to ask the project team and the vendor.

Technologies/Skills Covered: privacy, data protection

Presenter: 

• Pegah Parsi, Campus Privacy Officer, UC San Diego

Cybersecurity seems to be everywhere, affecting geopolitics, national politics, and even real-life for members of the UC San Diego community. How has the university responded to these challenges, and more importantly, how will we respond over the next five years? 

Technologies/Skills Covered: Zero Trust, various security technologies and skills

Presenter: 

• Michael Corn, CISO, UC San Diego

Will the digital resources we create now be accessible in the future? Not just the next decade, but the next millennia? This talk will cover the strategies undertaken by both the UCSD Library and the broader UC library community to ensure long-term sustainability and access to core University digital materials.

Technologies/Skills Covered: digital preservation methods, technology considerations, making data preservation-friendly

Presenter: 

• Sibyl Schaefer, Digital Preservation Analyst for Research Data Curation & Chronopolis Program Manager, The Library
