Mike Lee
I became a Bruin in 1995.
As a sophomore pre-med student, I went to my first UCLA job interview for what I thought to be a stacking books position at the Biomedical Library, but left as a lab assistant for the library’s instructional computing facility. Despite having limited experience with computers at the time, the supervisor felt that I had the positive attitude to succeed. Her decision to hire me played a critical role in defining my 9-year career (moving on 40) at the University.
Today, I am the enthusiastic Director of the Education Technology Unit for Social Sciences Computing. I am responsible for providing IT services to over 500 faculty and staff, and approximately 12,000 students in the division. Our customers rely on my team for help desk ticket resolution, technology provisions, consulting, software development, email/calendaring system, and instructional lab management. On a campus level, I am currently a member of the Help Desk Consortium, Lab Manager’s Group, CSC, BOL Advisory Committee, Programmer’s Exchange, and the UC’s PC Commodity Team. I am eager to join the board at Staff Assembly to help build upon the organization’s success and further increase its visibility. I am looking for “life after PDP”.
Finally, I love UCLA! I tell people that the campus is my second home. I unwind after a busy workday with various “backyard” activities such as; playing basketball at Pauley Pavilion, hitting tennis balls at LATC, running laps in Drake Stadium, working out at Wooden Center, catching fly balls on the IM field, or swimming at the Sunset pools. I understand the importance of maintaining a proper work/life balance, and contrary to popular belief, I do leave the campus. In my spare time, I like reading everything, traveling around the world, participating in road bike events, and competing in triathlons.
