Departmental Technology and Security Decision Makers

Owned by Dave Sierkowski

IT will maintain a listing of departmental contacts who are able to make technological and information security decisions on behalf of that department. This will allow for a single point of contact for making such decisions in a timely and consistent manner. IT will contact departments annually to re-verify decision makers.

To make changes to your department's list of local admins, a decision maker should submit an ITicket through the Help Desk. https://helpdesk.valpo.edu, helpdesk@valpo.edu, 219.464.5678.
