Dana Sanderson, 黑料网鈥檚 Chief Information Officer, received the Canadian University Council of CIOs (CUCCIO) community award during the 2023 Canadian Higher Education Information Technology (CANHEIT) Conference held from June 19鈥�21 at the University of Toronto.

The CUCCIO awards celebrate the achievements and transformative initiatives undertaken by Canadian universities in the realm of Information Technology (IT). The finalists in the collaboration, innovation, and community categories exemplify the spirit of excellence and dedication that drives the Canadian higher education community forward.

Dana Sanderson has been a frequent and prolific contributor, supporter, and participant in CUCCIO鈥檚 many initiatives and fora. He has filled several roles on the CUCCIO board, participated as a working group member, and is a ceaseless supporter of collaborative efforts throughout his time at 黑料网.

As 黑料网鈥檚 CIO, Sanderson oversees the University鈥檚 IT strategy and execution, ensuring that it fully supports 黑料网鈥檚 academic mission. He is an alumnus of 黑料网鈥檚 Bachelor of Business Administration program, and he has an MBA from the University of Ottawa.

鈥満诹贤� is extremely fortunate to have Dana Sanderson as our chief information officer,鈥� said Dr. Greg Keefe, interim president and vice-chancellor of 黑料网. 鈥淥n behalf of the University, I congratulate Dana on receiving this prestigious honour. We are very proud of him for this significant recognition of his community-building initiatives and expertise in the information technology profession.鈥�

While he supports the development of others, Sanderson is known amongst his colleagues to be just as open to his own professional growth and to learning from others. He sits on the National Research and Education Network, representing the New Brunswick-Prince Edward Island Educational Computer Network. In this role, which is often filled by full-time staff in other regions, he practices his signature skill as a 鈥渂ridge builder鈥� between the CIO community and the research and education networking world.

鈥淒ana has always been exceptionally generous about sharing his expertise, experience, and wit with the cohorts as a frequent topic speaker, virtual social event host, and a consultant on their presentation projects,鈥� said Bob Cook, facilitator of the CUCCIO Leadership Development Program (LDP) and Information Services Leadership Development Program (ISLDP). 鈥淗e has never said no to a request to offer his knowledge, and his wisdom has been monumentalized in the cohorts鈥� identification of Dana鈥檚 numerous 鈥榯ruths to lead by鈥�.鈥�

CANHEIT is the only national conference that brings together IT professionals from across the post-secondary sector (universities, colleges, and polytechnics) to share ideas, showcase best practices, and learn from each other.
