IT Executive Transitions Underway
The University of Ottawa has named Sylvain Chalut as its new chief
information officer. Chalut, who was most recently director of Business
Relations Management with Bombardier Aéronautique's information systems
services, will provide "strategic leadership for IT across the
university by ensuring business alignment, performance management and
investment management."
Meanwhile, the University of Arizona
named Michele Norin, the executive director of its IT services
department, as interim chief information officer. She will cover both
roles until a full-time CIO is named, the university said.
Two
institutions are seeking new CIOs. North Georgia College and State
University is currently seeking applicants for the full-time position
in its Department of Information & Instructional Technology (IIT).
In addition to a CIO's traditional duties, the CIO will serve as the
university's senior spokesperson on issues related to administrative,
student support, clinical, and academic information systems, and will
be member of the president's executive cabinet.
North Carolina
State University is also looking for IT talent, formally a vice
chancellor of information technology. The position is a new one, and
the person who is hired will also serve as NCSU's chief information
officer. NCSU also plans to consolidate its IT infrastructure.
Also,
California State University, San Bernardino has named Spencer Freund as
its new vice president for information resources and technology and
