Congratulations Ashlynn Meyer!
Welcome Howard Haynes!
Dear ICIT Team,
Howard Haynes will be joining us as a temporary AIS Director, while we will be searching for a permanent replacement for Anand. Howard will be providing leadership and guidance to the AIS team, while the Web team led by Christa, and the PMO team led by Stacy will report to me.
Howard brings a wealth of experience in higher education. His career includes more than 25 years of combined experience in information technologies within federal, state and public sectors. His current and past clients include the University of South Carolina, the University of South Florida, the University of Florida, the University of North Carolina Greensboro, Akron University, Keuka college, University Systems Georgia and Virginia Community Colleges.
Howard resides in Virginia, he will be doing some of his work remotely. The tentative plan is to alternate weeks between being on campus and working remotely.
Howard’s engagement with us starts on Tuesday, he will be located in Anand’s old office (L2004). Please be sure to give him a warm welcome when you see him.
I want to take this opportunity to thank members of AIS team who took part in the vetting process and helped select Howard for this role.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Onward!
Elena
Project Management Lunch & Learn: 10/13
If you missed the project management lunch and learn (PMLL) earlier this week, not only did you miss a great discussion on project manager expectations, you also missed Topper’s Pizza! The regulars at the PMLL have decided to contribute funds to order-in lunch from different places and move the meeting to Tuesdays, so if you want to participate, get your lunch order in to Stacy by end of day Monday.
You can always join the meeting and bring your own lunch if you don’t like the food choice. The next topic will be Project Manager leadership styles and the lunch provider will be Taco Fresco http://tacofrescowhitewater.com/eats/
If anyone has topics they want covered or want to lead a discussion, please contact Stacy
