New IT Chief to take charge in August

Concluding a search that began after Joanne Hugi's retirement in 2004, the University of Oregon has selected Don Harris to head its information technology services.

Harris holds a doctorate from the Claremont Graduate University, and bachelor's and master's degrees from Biola University. He has been vice provost for information technology and chief information officer at Emory University since 2001, and he will hold the same title at the UO.

Prior to his appointment at Emory, Harris served as associate vice president for information systems at the University of Memphis.

He has also held academic and administrative positions at Messiah College, the University of Maryland, and Pepperdine University.

Harris will begin his new job in early August, reporting to John Moseley, senior vice president and provost.
