IT Initiatives

IT projects range from support and ongoing maintenance, upgrading and replacement of systems, to integration of new tools, building sustainable infrastructure and projecting strategic future needs. All of this is accomplished by managing a dynamic project portfolio.

Top IT Initiatives

The Information Technology (IT) Department is focused on many critical and strategic initiatives. As a College partner, we champion Kenyon's mission by moving the technology landscape forward. We are focusing our efforts on these big-picture projects.
