Primetime with Tracy Futhey

Chief information officer to discuss future of technology at Duke at Sept. 13 employee forum

Information technology has become inseparable from university life, virtual ivy interweaving with the real stuff on the hall of academe. In the last few years, Duke has been at the forefront of the information transformation occurring at leading American research institutions.

From the conventional (e-mail and phone service) to the transformational (the Duke Digital Initiative and the latest version of DukePass), centralized groups such as the Office of Information Technology have helped shape the digital future for Duke. University departments throughout Duke also have played a crucial role in providing opportunities for experimentation with new technologies in the classroom, the lab and the workplace. Technology also plays a vital role in Duke's new strategic plan, "Making a Difference." Among the plan's priorities is investment in emerging technologies that improves collaborative learning and creates new opportunities to connect knowledge in the service of society.
