The California State University (CSU) has tapped Ed Clark, Ed.D., to serve as the university’s chief information officer (CIO).

Currently, Clark serves as the vice president for innovation and technology services, CIO, and chief digital officer at the University of St. Thomas – the largest private college in Minnesota.

Prior to his time at St. Thomas, Clark also served as CIO at both Minnesota State, Mankato, and at the University of Minnesota’s College of Liberal Arts.

“In these positions, Dr. Clark was responsible for all aspects of technology, from teaching and learning technologies to research support, infrastructure, and administrative computing services, and has led many strategic initiatives for these institutions,” according to the press release.
