NSU’s Chief Information Officer Named one of Nation’s Top 100
Tom West, M.B.A.
Nova Southeastern University is proud to announce that one of its own, Tom West, M.B.A., was recently named one of America’s top 100 CIOs by IDG Enterprise. West, NSU’s vice president of Information Technology, joins others from across the country in being recognized in the Premier 100 Awards Program.
The Premier 100 Awards Program honors those CIOs who explore new and innovative ways to incorporate technology to drive business results. West was honored as someone whose work has had a positive effect on Nova Southeastern University. In his role, he provides the University with the technological resources to support teaching, learning and research.
“Providing an information technology foundation for a large and complex university like Nova Southeastern University can be a very daunting task indeed,” said NSU President George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D. “Tom has provided a clear vision that has helped meet NSU’s goal of providing state-of-the art technology for its students, faculty and staff. He’s very deserving of this recognition.”
As CIO, West is specifically charged with leveraging technology to support strong student-centered administrative systems; advancing the University’s research and mission; empowering faculty teaching, knowledge production and technology transfer; and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the university’s operations. During his tenure with NSU, West has successfully managed the IT infrastructure of one of the country’s largest, not-for-profit institutions of higher learning while continually seeking innovative solutions to IT challenges and identifying and implementing the latest, most effective computer solutions.
West will be featured, along with the other honorees, in the February 27, 2014 issue of Computerworld and on its Website (computerworld.com) and at the Premier 100 IT Leadership Conference, scheduled for early March in Tucson, Arizona.
