Over the last couple years, the Butler IT department has incurred some leadership changes. As a result, the current CIO and team of directors are taking the opportunity to clarify and enact a departmental strategic vision.
This effort began to take shape in 2015 when IT staff members were invited to collaborate with senior management and establish the department mission and vision statements. Staff members and leaders proposed concepts, scrutinized vital words and phrases, and finally shaped what you see here:
Mission: Information Technology empowers student success and enhances teaching and learning through the delivery of technology, innovation, and partnerships with Butler and the community.
Vision: Differentiate Butler as the University of choice for students, faculty, and staff by anticipating opportunities and serving as a strategic business engine to drive transformation in the Butler community and beyond.
To unify the messaging of the strategic plan and the activities that come from it, we’ve created a branding image to help keep certain key concepts front and center on the minds of our staff and clients alike. These concepts include solidarity, building on our previous success, and continuous progress. The mark will begin appearing on strategic initiative documents and communications.
