IT Roundtable is an advisory board chaired by the Vice President for Information Technology & University Chief Information Officer, who appoints a rotating co-chair. It is an integral component of IT governance at the University of Pennsylvania, facilitating critical discussions about emerging technologies, what they mean for Penn, and their impact on the institution, Schools, Centers, and individuals.
Charged with advising on new technology implementations, rollout and support, IT Roundtable is particularly focused on awareness, communication, and adoption planning for decisions with extensive local implications. Its primary role is as an orientation and communication vehicle for the community of IT Directors, providing input on direction, policy, and standards critical to both local and University-wide IT planning.
Membership is comprised of senior technology officers from all 12 Schools and major Centers, with guests invited to attend and participate as appropriate.
