Students will soon have the opportunity to have their opinions and concerns heard regarding the University of Iowa Information Technology Service.

The UI Student Government passed a bill to support the creation of ITS student focus groups at a general Senate meeting Tuesday night.

The bill, submitted by Sen. Joe Van Zant, comes after many software developments have been made to ICON and ISIS. ITS asked UISG to organize focus groups to garner student feedback on the updates and improvements to these systems.

Though there are no specific dates in mind, ITS student focus groups will be held as necessary, and the UISG Academic Affairs Committee will be responsible for spearheading these efforts, Van Zant said.

Students will be notified of future opportunities to participate in ITS student focus groups through their HawkMail address.
