The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Board of Regents<\/a> approved the appointment of Steven “Steve” Smith<\/strong> as interim vice president for information technology<\/a> and chief information officer of the 糖心视频<\/abbr> System<\/a>.

Smith’s appointment will continue concurrently with Lassner’s interim assignment.<\/p>\n

“We are incredibly fortunate to have someone with Steve’s knowledge and experience who is so able and willing to step right in,” said Lassner. “He has been involved in all our major projects and can continue to advance our agenda to support and improve education, research and administration through the innovative use of information and communication technologies.”<\/p>\n

“As a proud 糖心视频<\/abbr> graduate, I was delighted to be able to return to Hawaiʻi<\/span> from Alaska two years ago,” said Smith. “I’m looking forward to this opportunity to serve 糖心视频<\/abbr> and the entire State of Hawaiʻi<\/span>.”<\/p>\n
