 Larry Levine,
the top-ranking information technology (IT) administrator at Dartmouth, will
become chief information officer and associate dean for information technology
for the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) this summer.
Levine is currently the chief information officer and associate provost for
information technology at Dartmouth, where he has led Peter Kiewit Computing
Services since 1991. He oversees academic, administrative, and network IT
initiatives that serve the entire institution.
During his tenure, Dartmouth has remained on the leading edge of technology
innovation in higher education, from installation of the first full-coverage
wireless network on a university campus to the first university with a
Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone system deployed throughout its
data network. Information technology staff and facilities were restructured and
integrated in a new, custom-built facility, and the wired network plant was
upgraded twice. A pilot for delivering video programming over the data network
is currently underway.
Levine has been a member of the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI)
Steering Committee representing EDUCAUSE, a member of the Commons Solutions
Group (CSG), a member of the Seminars in Academic Computing (SAC) Board,
and chair of the EDUCAUSE Quarterly Editorial Committee. He is currently
working with Internet2 planning PKI for Higher Education. He chairs the board
of directors of ValleyNet, a regional Internet Service Provider, which
celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.
Levine has held a variety of management positions within Dartmouth: chief
information officer (2005-1991), director of academic computing (1988-1991),
and director of social science computing (1984-1988). Before arriving at
Dartmouth, he was programmer, research consultant, and manager at Indiana
University's computing services (1979-1984).
He holds a Ph.D. from Indiana University, Bloomington, where his major focus
was on research methodology and statistics, and a B.S. from S.U.N.Y. Stony
Brook.
