SSCC to be Merged into L&S Information Technology Services
In February 2026 the Social Science Computing Cooperative will be merged into the College of Letters and Science Information Technology Services group (L&S ITS). We will continue to provide the same service to the same people as we did under the SSCC, including those outside of L&S. While there will be almost no changes in our day-to-day operations initially, some things will change in the following months. See November’s SSCC News for details.
