CIOs in Higher Education
Website
Description
NWACC Council Members will convene at Turtle Bay in Hawaii to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the organization, assess the successes and challenges of current programs, and determine the strategic and programmatic course of the organization for the next 5-year cycle (2014-2018).
The retreat will also feature conversations with two visionary leaders in technology, Richard DeMillo and Amber Case.
Amber Case will discuss the challenges and opportunities for technology programs in higher education, as well as the growing group of students who feel that a higher education no longer makes sense for them. She'll share some of her employees’ experiences as well as her own. The talk will cover open source and proprietary software, student opportunity, choice making, vendor lock-in and what CIOs can do to help higher education facilities become shining stars for future students and industries.
