As we celebrate the Class of 2026, I have been thinking about what it means to “speak Maize and Blue.”

Our annual end-of-the-year video from ITS captures the pride and shared experiences that connect our community. I hope it resonates with you. #GoBlue

AI is creating new opportunities and raising important challenges for higher education and beyond. We are hosting a summit "Everything that is wrong about AI" on April 16 to address these issues head-on. I hope you can join us.

Pi is an irrational number but it helps us think rationally and make sense of our not so rational world. Tomorrow, March 14, is Pi Day. I hope you all enjoy this Pi day video and maybe a slice of pie this weekend l. #GoBlue #HappyPiDay

Today, ITS' @RaviPendse, @umich's VP of Information Technology and Chief Information Officer, had the honor of meeting with Dharmendra Pradhan, the Minister of Education for India. It is thrilling that U-M gets to meet with such esteemed world leaders to discuss the future of #AI

[Ravi Pendse @RaviPendse]

@dpradhanbjp, it was an absolute and pleasure and honor to meet you. @UMich is ready to partner with you to assist in all areas of AI. I am grateful to @narendramodi ji for his forward looking vision to enable AI across India. 🙏

[Dharmendra Pradhan @dpradhanbjp]

Pleased to meet Dr. @RaviPendse, VP, Information Technology and Chief Information Officer, University of Michigan.

Glad to know about initiatives being undertaken at @UMich to support research, innovation and entrepreneurship; especially in AI innovation and development of cutting-edge tools for real-world applications in education, healthcare and industry.

Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji’s visit to the U.S. has provided additional momentum to expanding the contours of India-America education cooperation on all fronts. Appreciate Dr. Pendse’s keenness to scale up academic collaborations and work together with Indian HEIs.

The team, The team, The team. ITS innovates (I) with a focus on service excellence (S). It is the team (T) that always delivers. I am grateful to my incredible colleagues. 🙏 #GenAI #Michigan #service

[UMich ITS @umichTECH]

AI in higher education took a big leap forward today with the launch of Go Blue AI. Available now on iOS and Android, this app is set to transform your @UMich campus experience with personalized access to U-M news, events, and more. https://t.co/QCLDj6tjEY. #MichiganIT #GoBlue

[Ravi Pendse @RaviPendse]

How is @umich using AI? Hear how U-M students, faculty, and staff are utilizing AI in creative ways every day. I am grateful to be working with @umichtech, @UMichPrezOno, and our entire community on building the future of AI. https://t.co/9I9qNjSXvu #ai #genai

Congratulations to the Eagles for a great win. They played great and deserved to win. Thank you to my KC Chiefs for a great season. You played well throughout the season but came up short today. I know you will be back. 🙏 #ChiefsKingdom #ChiefsVsEagles

[Ravi Pendse @RaviPendse]

Chief's offensive line has been one of weak links during the entire season and that is showing up at the worst time. Except defense every aspect of Chief's play needs to improve for them to have any chance. Andy Reid needs to coach better. #ChiefsVsEagles #Chiefs

[Ravi Pendse @RaviPendse]

Most pundits had picked Chief's to lose today. They do not understand the heart of a champion. I hope they will learn never to pick against number 15. #ChiefsKingdom

[Ravi Pendse @RaviPendse]

They were 16.5 points underdogs. No one gave them a chance. Never underestimate grit, passion, resilience, will to win, and the heart of a champion. The Team, The Team, The Team. Michigan magic does it again. Go Blue.
#Heartofachampion #GoBlue #umich

[Ravi Pendse @RaviPendse]

The KC Chiefs 👏🏈🎄🎅🏽

[Ravi Pendse @RaviPendse]

Heart of a champion, resilience, passion, grit, and Michigan magic means victory again. Go Blue. @umichTECH @UMich #GoBlue

[Ravi Pendse @RaviPendse]

Wow. Amazing game. Go Blue. #michigan #nationalchampions

I am so inspired each time I hear “This is the University of Michigan.” RIP James Earle Jones. https://t.co/5nUw5yn6yh

[Ravi Pendse @RaviPendse]

This is such a huge loss. RIP James Earle Jones. https://t.co/CaAfTUc3cV via @NYTimes

Here is a fun fact before tonight's Prime Time game: Michigan Stadium's new state-of-the-art LED lighting system was designed to improve visibility while reducing energy consumption—31 percent less compared to the stadium's previous HID lights. Talk about Mr. Brightside! 〽️ 🏈 💡

[Ravi Pendse @RaviPendse]

It was a privilege to share the innovative work done by our ITS teams. The team, The team, The team. Go Blue.

[UMich ITS @umichTECH]
