IT leaders must continually communicate and promote the strategic role that information technology plays in addressing key challenges for institutions and for higher education. EDUCAUSE has begun developing a line of executive briefs to help with this task. The IT Foundations Series includes material designed for senior higher education leaders-presidents, provosts, trustees, and deans- currently covering four topics: " Administrative Systems and Services" Information Security" Online Learning" Personalized PathwaysThe material is designed for use in an interactive workshop format or as stand-alone material. In this session, join Susan Grajek, vice president for data, research, and analytics, and Joanne Dehoney, chief of staff, to learn more about the approach to the four topics and how the resources can be used with key influencers on your campus to help establish a common vocabulary and understanding of IT's strategic role.
