Steve Meckel to serve as Acting CITO

August 25,2022

Dear UA Employees,

Our Chief Information Technology Officer search is nearly complete and I'm expecting to share with you our selection in the next several weeks. In the interim, Steve Meckel, OIT's executive officer, will serve as Acting CITO until the new CITO comes on board.

I also want to thank John Boucher for his leadership in the CITO role over the last two years. John has provided exemplary counsel to both myself and to each university as we began the transition to a student-focused, cloud-based system, upgraded our broadband capabilities, and improved UA's information security and IT infrastructure posture.

Sincerely,

Pat Pitney, President
University of Alaska
