Maccabe will be leading the ITS organization of 220 IT staff and 60 student employees.

Barney Maccabe announced that Holly Buchanan will serve as Deputy CIO. Buchanan is Associate Vice President for Knowledge Management and Information Technology at the Health Sciences Center and will concurrently serve in that position.
The CIO is charged with strategic leadership for the integration of Information Technology (IT) related functions across the UNM campus.
