MTech Communities of Practice are how we stay aligned across a big university. They give U-M staff and faculty doing similar work a consistent place to compare approaches, share what’s working (and what isn’t), and avoid solving the same problems in parallel.
CoPs don’t set policy or make decisions for others. Rather, they strengthen MTech by building relationships, spreading practical know-how, and improving how we deliver reliable, usable services for the university. If you want to learn, contribute, or just connect with peers who do what you do—or are trying to—participating in CoP is one of the easiest ways to do so.
