Rose Rocchio
OIT Director of Academic Applications

Rose Rocchio is the Director of Academic Applications for the Office of Information Technology. With an Information Technology background that stretches over 18 years, Rose has experience and expertise in directing, managing, planning, and facilitating. She also specializes in coordinating campus-wide academic focused IT web-based initiatives, system design projects, workflow systems and database projects. Rose has developed ongoing partnerships with IT vendors and provides application and organization consulting for academic IT units.

Rose is currently involved in several on-going projects:

DAT: The DAT (Dossier Action Tracking) System is UCLA's Official system of record for Academic appointments. It tracks the Academic review process for all faculty. DAT has been in use at UCLA for over 2 1/2 years.

CCLE: Rose participated in the CCLE Planning Team effort, which got funded by CITI last year. It is the first major academically focused project to receive campus-wide IT funding. She is now working with the campus to implement the CCLE plan, participating on CCLE's S & PG (Standards and Practices Group), the CCLE's CIG (CCLE Share System Incident Group) in addition to leading CCLE's Sys Ops Group (Systems Operations Group).

AtmySenate: The Academic Applications group is currently in the process of developing a consolidated and shared web-based database system for the Academic Senate, to be called, "AtmySenate." All of the Senate's current web-based and client server systems functions and data will be migrated to the 'AtmySenate' system upon completion of the development phase of the project.

iTunes U: Rose is currently leading the Campus's iTunes U team involving over 20 units from across the campus. The team was successful in having Apple feature UCLA in Sept. 2009 along with 100 other Universities worldwide. Additionally, the UCLA on iTunes U team is working with sister UC campuses and UCOP to get the current agreement with APPLE amended to include private access to course podcasts.

Rose received her undergraduate degree from MIT and a MBA from UCLA's Anderson School of Management.
