RE: Appointment of Peter M. Siegel as Vice Provost - Information and 
Educational Technology

I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Peter M. Siegel as 
Vice Provost-Information and Educational Technology, effective August 
15, 2006, following a national search.  Mr. Siegel is a seasoned 
information technology leader with an exceptionally strong background 
to assume this important role for UC Davis.

Mr. Siegel is currently Chief Information Officer at the University of 
Illinois at Urbana/Champaign, a position he has held since 2000.  
During his tenure at Illinois, he reorganized the campus's central 
computing, educational technologies, classroom technologies, computer 
labs, and data and voice communications units into an integrated 
information technologies and educational services unit.  Mr. Siegel is 
an active participant in both national and state professional 
organizations, as well as in nationally-recognized technology 
partnerships with other major research universities. He is a member of 
the Educause-Internet2 Security Task Force Executive Committee and is 
working with the American Council on Education and Educause on security 
policy issues.  He frequently speaks on computer privacy and security 
issues, collaboration technologies, and the role of technology planning
in universities.

Prior to joining Illinois, Mr. Siegel was director of Academic 
Information Technology at Iowa State University and spent more than 25 
years at Cornell University, including serving as Director of the 
National Supercomputer Facility.

Our campus looks forward to many exciting advances in information and 
information technology with Peter's sights and leadership.  Please join 
me in warmly welcoming Peter Siegel and his wife, Hope Stevens, to the 
campus community.
