Alan Cafferkey

Having served as director since 2013, Alan views his job as being an advocate for faculty on technology issues. During his tenure he has overseen the evolution of the department's services, including offering a robust series of workshops and events, the development of the Academic Computing Environment (ACE), increasing support for online learning, launching a liaison program between Fordham IT and all academic areas, improving the University's learning management system, and expanding ITs annual faculty-focused conference, Faculty Technology Day. He is also vice chair of the University's Change Management Board.

Prior to joining IT, Alan was an assistant dean at Fordham's Gabelli School of Business, where he advised freshman and then juniors, helped develop and co-chair the Integrated Learning Community for Global Business (ILC-GB), and chaired the school's academic integrity committee. He has also taught composition courses for Fordham as an adjunct professor.

Alan received an MA in English from Fordham University and is currently working on a Ph.D. from the Education, Leadership, Administration and Policy division of the Graduate School of Education.
