E08 Podcast: Why IT Matters: A President’s Perspective on Technology and Leadership

Created by Gerry Bayne (EDUCAUSE) on November 10, 2008

This fifty-five minute podcast, recorded at the EDUCAUSE 2008 Annual Conference, features a speech by Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, President at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The speech is entitled, "Why IT Matters: A President's Perspective on Technology and Leadership." Video for this speech is also available.

In May 2003, Nicholas Carr’s Harvard Business Review article postulated that information technology doesn’t matter. As higher education enters a period of great change, such issues as sustainability, diversity and student access, affordability, and accountability will increasingly dominate our institutional strategies. This talk focuses on a presidential view of why IT does matter and how aspiring IT leaders can work with presidents to help their campuses innovate and succeed in addressing these important issues.
