As of May 1, 2009, CDH has a new Support Coordinator, Dave Nguyen, to coordinate all external and internal technical and desktop support efforts for the Humanities Division. In his new position, Dave coordinates the efforts of our standout team of seven Departmental Technology Analysts (DTAs). He also oversees the CDH Service Desk, as well as undertaking special projects to improve the support efforts of all CDH staff.

Dave has worked at CDH for the past two years as the Help Desk DTA and the Royce DTA, and prior to that as a student worker while still an undergraduate at UCLA. He received his B.A. in Economics from UCLA in 2007.

Dave is a welcome addition to CDH and a very welcoming and approachable resource for anyone in Humanities who needs computer support. He can be found in 1084 Public Affairs Building or at the Service Desk in 1020 Public Affairs.

The new Germanic Department website was launched today. This is one another humanities website that was completely re-designed and developed using Joomla Content Management System by CDH.

Using a CMS makes these websites easily updatable and thus keeps them up to date.

For the third year in a row, CDH made a strong showing at the UCLA Relay for Life sponsored by the American Cancer Society. As part of "Team Tech", five CDH staff members, a CDH spouse, and three staff from other UCLA IT units raised a combined $1,155 and walked 13 of 24 hours during the event, which was held at UCLA's Drake Stadium from noon on Saturday, April 18th to noon Sunday, April 19th. This was the 25th anniversary of the event at UCLA, whose goal is to raise money for cancer research. If you are interested in donating for Team Tech, you still can do so by going  HERE .

Walking legs of this tag team walk-a-thon style fundraiser were Branden Bio (CDH), Robert Cargill (CDH), Lisa Kemp Jones (Library IT), Rebecca Powers (CDH) and her husband, Jackie Reynolds (AIS), Terry Ryan (UCLA Library Emeritus), Annelie Rugg (CDH and Team Tech captain), and Jon Tancinco (CDH).

CDH's participation in Relay for Life is the brainchild of former DTA Frank Lee, now teaching in a local secondary school. Says Annelie: "It's a great way for CDH staff to support a good cause, either with their feet or their pocketbooks, or both. We plan to do it again next year, hopefully with more friends from other IT units joining up."  For more information about the UCLA Relay for Life, click here .
