Gregory A. Jackson is Vice President and Chief Information Officer
at the University of Chicago. In this capacity he reports to the
President, and manages directly the University's central computing
facilities, telephones, communications, network services, administrative
computing, academic computing, computer store, and related entities. The
umbrella organization for these activities, Networking Services and
Information Technologies, spends about $50-million annually overall and
employs about 300 individuals (not counting students). Jackson also works
closely with the University's widely diverse academic and administrative
units to frame and guide more distributed information-technology
activities, and to make sure the University makes optimal use of
information technology in its education, research, and administration.
From 1991 to 1996 Jackson was Director of Academic Computing for the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and from 1989 through 1991 he was
Director of Educational Studies and Special Projects in the Provost's
Office at MIT.
His extensive background over more than 20 years in higher education
and educational technology, and leadership in professional societies and
national and international initiatives qualifies him uniquely to provide
the insight and motivation to further develop our own vision and
leadership skills. For a more complete list of his background and
