The Office of the CIO restructures

The Office of the CIO has completed an organizational restructuring designed to sharpen focus on areas central to the university’s academic mission, bringing instructional technology, campus engagement and application development under clearer, more unified leadership. 

A new approach to campus engagement 

At the deputy CIO level, the retirement of the Deputy CIO for Innovation created an opportunity to reimagine how the Office of the CIO engages with the broader campus IT community. A new Deputy CIO for Engagement role has been created, focusing on collaboration with IT staff across colleges and units, research enablement and IT governance. Emerging technology work, including generative AI, continues under the IT Architect on the CIO’s Cabinet. 

A dedicated home for instructional technology 

A new Instructional Services team now brings together instructional computing, teaching and learning technologies and classroom media engineering under dedicated leadership. The restructuring gives these functions a clearer organizational home and strengthens alignment with the needs of faculty and students across campus. 

Unified strategy for application development and delivery 

Application development, quality assurance, accessibility, business analysis and project portfolio management have been unified into a single Strategy and Solutions Development team. The consolidation creates a more consistent and transparent approach to how technology work is prioritized and delivered across the university.
