About UNC CAUSE

UNC CAUSE is a group formed in 1970 by the computing centers of the 16-campus University of North Carolina for the purpose of promoting cooperation and information exchange between the campuses of the UNC System in all areas related to information technology.

The UNC CAUSE Fall Conference is of particular importance to all involved. It provides an annual state-wide technical conference experience for North Carolina college and university IT staff to exchange ideas, gain exposure to advances in information technology and gain professional development at reasonable costs.

This is an exciting and challenging time for IT professionals, given the evolution of computing and the changes that have occurred over the past 50+ years. IT is mission critical for all our campuses. From this results an ever-increasing expectation that we deliver new and expanded capabilities to our users in a timely manner. The personal challenge for all involved in UNC CAUSE is to serve our users well and empower them through technology to be more creative, productive and efficient.
