Organizational Structure for Information Technology Services

To remain competitive among other leading national research universities, Yeshiva University requires a nimble and responsive information systems environment, high levels of integration among its applications as well as a reliable and cutting edge network infrastructure. High level support of academic and clinical research endeavors is also paramount to our success. To create greater efficiencies and attain a higher level of accountability,  Information Technology Services has 4 main units with Directors who report directly to Vice President Marc Milstein, the University’s Chief Information Officer.  (In addition, the Information Security Officer, Sean Cottman, reports to Mr. Milstein.)

The four areas are as follows:

  • Academic Services: technical support for Academic Computing, Multimedia, the Help Desk, and Desktop Support.  The director is Tom Oleszczuk, Ph.D.
  • Technology and Network Operations: University-wide Networks, Security Administration and E-Mail Services.  The director is Tom H. Karson, MD, who is also the Deputy CIO.
  • Central and Administrative Systems: Computer Operations, Servers, Financial Applications Support, and the Student Information System (Banner). The director is Mr. Terry Every.
  • Research Computing: technical and consultative support for University researchers.  The director is Tom H. Karson, MD, who is also the Deputy CIO.
