I am pleased to announce that Ellen J. Waite-Franzen, the Vice President for
Computing and Information Services at Brown University, will become the Vice
President for Information Technology at Dartmouth. She will assume her new post
on October 15th.
As the Vice President for Brown's computing and information services, she
was responsible for the university's technology environment, including academic
and scholarly technology services and support, network services,
telecommunications, administrative systems, technology training and support.
She implemented a major upgrade of Brown's campus network and email system, and
established a security infrastructure. Before joining the administration at
Brown, she was the Vice President for Information Services at the University of
Richmond, Va., and the Vice President for Academic Services at Loyola
University in Chicago. She has also served as Associate Director of libraries
and university librarian at Loyola.
Ellen Waite-Franzen is a member of the Educause board of directors and is
currently the treasurer. She has served as a consultant to numerous higher
education advisory committees concerning IT and library operations. She holds a
Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and a Master
of Arts in library and information science from the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Here in Hanover, she will lead Dartmouth's Computing Services, which
encompasses all computing infrastructure and architecture, applications
development, and instructional and research support. Her responsibilities will
include advising senior leadership on new technology and its potential impact
on the operations of Dartmouth, working closely with the professional schools
to understand their needs and assist them in formulating their priorities and
initiatives, and collaborating with the Dean of the Libraries to provide
complementary functions and services.
