 Chancellor Kent Syverud today announced the members of the search committee charged with identifying Syracuse University’s next chief information officer. The chief information officer reports directly to Chancellor Syverud and oversees Information Technology Services (ITS), which provides centralized technology and support services for academic and administrative functions of the University. The ITS portfolio includes the campus network and Internet connectivity, enterprise academic and administrative systems, information technology security, telecommunications, and telephone and walk-in service centers.

“Technology is the backbone for faculty research, scholarship, creative work and collaboration; for educating our students in bold and different new ways; and for competing in tomorrow’s world,” says Chancellor Syverud. “Syracuse University is taking bold steps in technology strategies and investments, and we need a dynamic and visionary leader to head our technology strategy and infrastructure. I am confident in this search committee’s ability to identify an outstanding chief information officer who will help propel Syracuse’s digital and technology capabilities to exceed the needs and expectations of our students, faculty and staff.”

The committee will be led by Jeff Rubin, special advisor to the chancellor on esports and digital transformation and professor of practice in the School of Information Studies. Chancellor Syverud will serve on the search committee given the critical importance of the chief information officer role. Other members include:

  1. Sharon Barner ’79, University Trustee
  2. Candace Campbell Jackson, senior vice president and chief of staff
  3. Nick Donofrio G’71, H’11, Life Trustee
  4. Brett Padgett, senior vice president and chief financial officer
  5. Gretchen Ritter, vice chancellor, provost and chief academic officer

The goal of the committee is to complete the search by the end of the Fall 2023 semester with the new chief information officer beginning early in 2024. Korn Ferry, an executive search firm with expertise in higher education, will support the search.
