Bonnie Neas, vice president for information technology, has promoted Joan Chapek and Marc Wallman to be assistant vice presidents. Since its development in August 2007, the Information Technology Division has been organized into three departments to better focus technology services and meet the needs of the campus community.

Chapek will oversee the telecommunications department, which has been renamed Telecommunications and Emergency Support Technologies and restructured to include emergency notification services and systems. She previously was associate director of Facilities Management and director of University Telecommunications. In that role, she was responsible for operations, strategic planning and procurement for the university's voice and cellular service, cable television, card access and related infrastructure.

In the new position, Chapek’s responsibilities include ongoing strategy and implementation of telecommunications and notification technologies.

Wallman will lead the newly formed Department of Enterprise Computing and Infrastructure, which includes development of server-based and online information systems, network engineering and operations, and research computing services. He previously was director of information technology infrastructure services and worked extensively with the Northern Tier Network Consortium.

Associate vice president and chief information officer Jeffery Gerst will continue to oversee the public-facing services provided by Information Technology Services.
