Lev Gonick, vice president for information technology services and CIO at Case Western Reserve University, has been teaching, working, and living on the Net since 1987. He is also president of the board of OneCleveland, a metropolitan-wide strategy to extend high-speed network connectivity to the nonprofit sector in northeast Ohio. Gonick serves on multiple national and local boards and has been named one of the country's top CIOs by both InformationWeek and ComputerWorld. Previously, he served as chief information technology officer for Cal State Monterey Bay. From 1996 through 1999, Gonick was university dean for instructional technology and academic computing at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona, California. Gonick's extensive international efforts in education and technology date back to 1985. Thirteen years ago, he supported the development of HealthNet and Mango, one of Southern Africa's first Internet nodes, facilitating connectivity between health-care professionals and nongovernmental organizations in the field in Southern Africa. He has been involved in designing and implementing digital learning network projects in West African countries and in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Palestine. Gonick received his PhD in international political economy from York University in Ontario, Canada. SummaryYour host, Steve Worona, will be joined by Lev Gonick, and the topic will be "From Digital Campus to Connected Community." Lev Gonick was named one of this year's premier 100 CIOs by ComputerWorld Magazine and last year’s CIOs to watch by InformationWeek. So, what's he up to in the frozen tundra on the shores of Lake Erie at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland? Read his blog and join readers both inside and outside the academy to find out. One of Gonick’s major projects is known as OneCleveland—a big, bold, 21st-century community-oriented project that delivers advanced information technology capabilities to achieve community priorities for economic development, learning, job training, research support, and preeminence and distinction. Last month, he joined an invitational group in Stockholm at Nobel Week to share the OneCleveland story with dignitaries from around the world on the theme of the relationship between technology on campus and the broader community. Join Gonick for a wide-ranging conversation on OneCleveland topics and the role of the university and technology in the 21st-century community. Related EDUCAUSE Resources
