In addition to leading the central computing organization, as CIO Sedore has the responsibility to provide and promote cost effective and strategic applications of information technology at the University; oversee IT disaster recovery, security and privacy; and ensure that the University makes appropriate technology investments to support teaching, research, learning and administration.

“Chris has performed his interim responsibilities in a first-rate manner showing great judgment, strong management abilities and exceptional vision,” says Spina. “Throughout his tenure, he has shown that he is both a strong leader and collaborator. Chancellor Cantor, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Louis G.

Sedore joined ITS in 2005 to become SU’s director of network and systems management and chief technology strategist. He was promoted to associate chief information officer in 2007.
