Empower students through products and services
Hello, War Eagle. My name is Sara Deschner, and I am the new vice president and chief information officer at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
I have been a member of the Warhawk family for 18 years. I came to campus in 2006 as an Information Technology instructor, and previously worked as the Director of IT Operations for a manufacturing company. In 2018, I served as the assistant dean of the Online Education Technology Center of the School of Business and Economics.
Now, I’m proud to lead the IT department at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. In my current role, I work with university leadership to develop our technology strategy and plan infrastructure and services to best support our students, staff and community. I am delighted to be in this position.
Listening is an important part of my job. Whether it’s ideas for improving college processes or understanding how technology (or lack thereof) can cause frustration or inefficiency, I want to hear from you. Let’s find ways to remove barriers to student success.
The dedicated and talented IT team keeps busy. Some of the first projects we are working on include the design and implementation of a more user-friendly guest wireless network, the installation of new wireless coverage in the Youth Hall, a full accessibility review of our university website and some essential infrastructure upgrade.
My goal for IT services is that we will work closely with the university community to identify ways to leverage and transform technology to provide more value. We want to help students have the most successful experience possible in their academic and extracurricular activities through the products and services we provide.
