Dennis Gendron Email Address

Executive Director and Ellucian Chief Information Officer

Seattle University, founded in 1891, is a Jesuit Catholic university Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood.

With Executive Cabinet responsibilities from 2002 through 2012, including positions of Vice President for IT and Provost/Executive Vice President, I have been centrally involved in every major aspect of University activity. I have managed Academic Affairs, Procurement Services, Human Resources, and an Information Technology division that included a University-operated telephone service (PBX), administrative computing, networking, Web services, the University Call Center and Help Desk, Client Services to every desktop and residence hall, and cable television. Moreover, I have either chaired or served as a member of virtually every critical committee on the campus: e.g., University Strategic Planning Steering Committee, Strategic Plan Budget Workgroup, Human Resources Committee, Academic Master Planning Committee, Academic Program Prioritization Committee, Facilities Master Planning Committee, Banner Management Committee, Business Intelligence Steering Committee, SACS Steering Committee, Web Committee and Redesign Task Force, Business Information Systems Advisory Council, and assorted search committees for University executive positions.
