"IT needs to be ahead of the curve, offering solutions for problems that maybe our faculty, staff, and students don't know exist yet. IT shouldn't be just at the table; in some cases we should be leading the discussion. We should be leading the transformation of education and research and pulling along faculty and students and researchers in improving the way they do their work."
