SUBJECT:

DIRECTOR OF ACADEMIC COMPUTING AND MEDIA SERVICES (ACMS)

I am pleased to announce that Jeff Henry has accepted the position of Director of Academic Computing and Media Services (ACMS), effective June 30, 2010. Jeff joined UC San Diego in 2006 as Director of Media Services and for the past year has been serving as co-Director of ACMS with Tony Wood. From 2003-2006 Jeff was the Manager of Design and Engineering for Educational Technology Services at the University of California, Berkeley. Upon Tony's retirement this month, Jeff will assume responsibility as sole director of ACMS.

Reporting to the Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Planning and Resources, the Director of ACMS provides leadership for the overall management and operation of academic technologies including classroom technology, general-use computer labs, instructional web technologies, computer systems support, design and engineering for UCTV/UCSD-TV and audiovisual engineering projects undertaken by Media Services.

Jeff's career in broadcasting, audiovisual engineering, and information technology, spans 30 years. Jeff has a track record of professional accomplishments at UCSD and UCB and has been instrumental in the successful merger of Media Services and Academic Computing Services. I look forward to working with Jeff on various new initiatives, including advancing the use and availability of academic technologies on campus, as well as improving and streamlining academic technology infrastructure.

Please join me in congratulating Jeff Henry on his appointment.
