To: The UCOP Community
From: Kristine Hafner, Associate Vice President
Information Resources and Communications
(IR&C)
Patrick Collins, IR&C Director for Information and Communication
Services, will be leaving us effective July 29 to assume the role
of Chief Information Officer at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
in Menlo Park. I am deeply grateful to Patrick for his significant
contributions to positive change within IR&C and for his leadership
in improving the range and quality of services that IR&C provides
our customers. In light of Patrick's departure, I have implemented
several organizational changes in IR&C. Following is a brief
summary of those changes that most affect UCOP departments.
1. Paul Weiss will lead the Technology Support
Services unit, which includes all technology platforms and architectures
as well as the Desktop Support and Communication Services groups.
2. Bruce James will assume responsibility for the Application Technology
Services unit, which includes all IR&C groups involved in developing
and maintaining applications for UCOP and campus customers.
3. Carla Raffetto will assume a new role as IR&C's Customer
Relationship Liaison for UCOP in addition to her existing position
of Manager of the Web Development and Operational Systems groups.
She will report to me in this new role and will serve as a liaison
to colleagues within IR&C to ensure that we are listening and
responding to the broad range of UCOP department needs.
4. Connie Williams will assume acting responsibility for the IT
Strategic Sourcing group while recruitment for a permanent manager
is underway.
There are no changes to the IR&C units and unit managers with
whom you may have regular contact or interaction. I invite you to
consult our revised organizational charts posted at http://www.ucop.edu/irc/orgcharts/
and to contact me with any questions or concerns that you might
have.
