- How have you incorporated social media into your work?
- I've started sharing my thoughts on IT trends and their impact on our campus in my weekly blog, "UA Tech Talk." It has been a helpful tool for generating dialogue about IT on campus, and for receiving comments and feedback. My office also has Twitter and Facebook accounts to share IT-related news with students and promote campus services.
- The most important task you've delegated this year:
- I recently created two new positions, executive director for central IT services and executive director for campus IT services, and transitioned day-to-day management of all IT operations to those roles. This gives me more time to focus on strategy development and innovation.
- Which emerging technologies have captured your interest?
- Since we are a Research 1 university, big data is on my radar, as is the Internet of Things, as we react to the constantly changing technology environment.
