William H. GravesSenior VP for Academic Strategy Chapel Hill, North Carolina UNITED STATES William H. GravesBiographyDr. William H. Graves, as senior vice president for academic strategy, is a member of the executive team at SunGard Higher Education. He is also professor emeritus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) where, after earning a mathematics Ph.D. from Indiana University, he served as dean for general education, interim vice chancellor for academic affairs, senior information technology officer, and founder and director of the Institute for Academic Technology (a UNC/IBM alliance). Starting at UNC and now at SunGard Higher Education, Graves has helped pioneer technology-enabled strategies for measurably improving upon and accounting for institutional performance in higher education, especially academic performance. On this evolving theme, he has published over 80 articles and books (see the bibliography below), given hundreds of invited presentations, and advised hundreds of institutions. Graves is a co-founding board member of the National Center for Academic Transformation, the IMS Global Learning Consortium, and the Alliance for Higher Education Competitiveness. He serves also on the National Advisory Group for the Lumina Foundation’s Making Opportunity Affordable initiative. He formerly served on the boards of EDUCAUSE, the Coalition for Networked Information, and CAUSE. He helped launch Internet2 and EDUCAUSE’s National Learning Infrastructure Initiative (now the Learning Initiative) and chaired the latter's planning committee from 1994-2004. He served on the Tenth Anniversary Commission of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and participated in a national work group on Enhancing Accessibility, Reducing Costs, and Promoting Productivity in conjunction with the Department of Education’s March 2007 national summit, A Test of Leadership. While on leave from UNC in 1997, Graves founded and directed the nonprofit Collegis Research Institute. He then retired from UNC in 1999 to found (and chair the board of) Eduprise, an academic technology services firm which subsequently merged with Collegis. The resulting privately held company was acquired in 2004 by publicly traded SunGard Data Systems and is now part of privately held SunGard Higher Education, the world’s largest technology-related business focused solely on higher education. The company provides institutional software solutions, technology management solutions, and a range of consulting services designed to meet academic and business needs specific to higher education.
