The Department Head of ODIS will be responsible for leadership, management, and planning for the services and functions of the Office of Digital Innovation and Stewardship, which includes 8 FTE permanent professionals and a large team of students and temporary employees. ODIS members work collaboratively, engaging the strengths and knowledge of all members of the department.
