Now Seeking a Host
The podcast for the people running technology in higher education, featuring candid conversations with the CIOs solving campus IT's hardest problems.
Interested? Let's talk.26 episodes per year, published in audio and video across all major platforms.
Dynamic conversations with real leaders, sharing real challenges and how they're actually solving them.

The higher ed CIO's job has changed more in the last few years than in the previous twenty: AI in every department, systems that don't talk, multiplying security and fraud threats, and budgets that never keep up with expectations.
The CIO Desk is where the people living that job talk about it honestly. Each episode brings on a CIO, IT leader, or higher ed technologist to dig deep into a real challenge on their desk right now, and how they're actually solving it.
