Keynote: Enabling Our Future Through Community - Spring 2021 IT Pro Forum

The Provost will be sharing his vision for the future of the Urbana campus with the campus IT community in early May. As we learn more of this vision, I believe you'll find it both bold and inspiring. This vision builds upon lessons from the last year but also upon the idea that the challenges that lay before us are also opportunities to take a different path. To achieve these outcomes, the Provost has made it clear that technology is foundational to enabling his vision. Yet, the way we invest and deliver technology to create this future will be markedly different than where we've been.

This keynote will discuss how the campus IT community can exploit these opportunities to optimize how the University gets things done while delivering on the promise for a new and bold future. If we can rise to the occasion, our future may never have looked so bright. Please join me as I share perspectives for how we may achieve these things together through community and the power of We. Later in the day, please join me for a moderated discussion to further explore his vision and the opportunities for the campus IT community.
