Wichita State University is developing a Campus Cyberinfrastructure Master Plan to enhance computing, data, and software resources critical to supporting research and education. This initiative aims to interconnect campus research labs, create a shared research storage system and establish a regional computing system. The plan will address the growing computational, data and software needs of the university, while promoting interdisciplinary collaborations and supporting innovative research. As part of this effort, we are conducting a survey to better understand the current and future computing, data, and software needs of faculty, researchers, and students across diverse departments. The feedback collected will help shape strategic decisions to ensure that WSU’s infrastructure is flexible, scalable, and sustainable. Your input is crucial for tailoring resources to meet the university’s evolving demands and for fostering a collaborative research environment.

Please complete this survey by Sept. 25.

This survey is supported by NSF Award 2346097.
