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.

Beren Network Upgrade - 8/20/08

 Permanent link

8/20/08
(Completed)

The network at 245 Lexington Ave. will be out of service Wednesday evening, August 20, from 6:30PM until approximately 9:30PM to permit equipment maintenance procedures to be performed at that location. The effect of this outage will be limited to the 245 building. It will not affect other parts of the university network.

There will be another network outage on the Wilf campus Thursday night, August 21, from 9:30PM until approximately 2:00AM Friday morning. This outage will affect many areas of the university because all servers at Wilf will be unreachable.

We know that any network outage is inconvenient. We plan procedures carefully to minimize the number and duration of outages but some maintenance and upgrade work is unavoidable. Performing these maintenance procedures now will avoid multiple disruptions later in the semester when a larger number of people would be affected. Your patience and cooperation is appreciated.
