Membership

The membership of the Council consists of the IT Directors of major units within the university, generally defined by the membership of the President's council, including one representative from the Vice President for Information Technology (VPIT) and CIO. The VPIT/CIO representative is an ex-officio member.

We seek to engage with folks involved in IT within these areas to foster discussion regarding ongoing activities and needs. The goal is to better understand the strategic objectives of our constituencies, regardless of a formal reporting structure. In turn, we hope to positively represent our needs among the members and to the Division of IT as well as communicate important updates within our areas.
