Faculty

We are here to help provide support to faculty members in the Humanities through a variety of services ranging from desktop computing support, computer lab support for teaching and research purposes, digital media and communication needs, and research support and consultation. Learn more about our individual services below!

Expandable List

Computing/technical support

HMC can assist with the selection and procurement of technology and provide support for configuring the technology once it arrives. We also support existing technologies whether it’s a PC/Mac, tablet, laptop or mobile device.

HMC assists with the development of research initiatives and grant proposals (Tri-Council/CFI). We have decades of collective experience in supporting research and are available to assist with all phases of the process. This includes identifying and sourcing appropriate technologies, gathering quotes and sourcing vendors, generating and launching a web presence (including social media and digital assets), identifying and liaising with other campus units (eg. Research & High-Performance Computing, UTS) and certain forms of low to medium-resource web hosting.

Support and development

In addition to managing the faculty CMS, HMC makes use of digital communication technologies and social media to actively promote faculty events. Additionally, higher-profile events are often recorded for video production and web distribution.

Secure and environmental responsible technology disposal

HMC can assist with the disposal of old computing and technology devices. This includes an assessment of the technology to determine if it needs a ‘data wipe’ prior to disposal. HMC uses the latest low-level technologies and processes to ensure that data is removed and completely unrecoverable before sending the technology off to be properly processed as e-waste.
