Information Technology Services

We are WSU Spokane Information Technology Services, one team encompassing many fields of expertise – all focused on the single goal of creating a superior information technology environment for WSU Spokane’s unique multi-institutional campus.

While we make our home within the WSU Spokane community, we do not see ourselves as a static department. Instead, we consider ourselves to be a dynamic business partner actively pursuing new opportunities to provide our customers with the highest level of service to help them succeed.

We are defined by this commitment and continuously design, implement, and offer services and solutions in support of WSU Spokane’s greater vision of creating and maintaining a premier research and health sciences campus.
