"I want to understand what can we do with (IT) to make sure we're best serving the needs of faculty, staff and students," Sedore said.
Before working in the Office of Information Technology and Services, Sedore served as manager of network services at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs from 1994 to 2004. While there, he helped develop open-source operating systems and collaborated with research and education efforts in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Israel, Italy and Peru.
During his 15 years at SU, Sedore said he's seen technology become more embedded in everyone's daily lives. Technology in the life of students, he said, is dramatically different from when he started 15 years ago.
"Students now have expectations for instant communication, wireless and instant access to all their functions," he said.
Sedore said he's excited about moving forward.
"From a technologist's perspective, I'd say looking back it's been great, what we've evolved to do with technology," he said. "I'm optimistic and excited about what we'll be able to do for the next 15 years.
