From UVA McIntire School of Commerce Center for the Management of Information Technology (CMIT): We are delighted to announce that the recipient of our Center's 2023 IT Leadership Award is Virginia Evans, recently retired CIO of the University of Virginia and alumnus. Professor Ryan Nelson will present the award to Virginia next Friday, May 12th at the Knowledge ∞ Continuum, the Center for the Management of Information Technology (CMIT) at UVA's McIntire School of Commerce signature event.

We are so proud to announce that McIntire Center Selects Virginia Evans for IT Leadership Award!

The Center for the Management of IT at the McIntire School of Commerce has selected Virginia Evans as recipient of its IT Leadership Award. The award, to be presented at the annual CMIT Knowledge ∞ Continuum on May 12 at the Commerce School, recognizes IT professionals who are innovators, pathfinders and problem-solvers in the management of information technology. Recipients have led significant efforts to deliver business value using IT, while simultaneously demonstrating the core attributes of vision, innovation and integrity.

Evans recently retired from the University, after a 30-year career that included roles in Finance, the UVA Medical Center, the Darden School of Business and UVA Information Technology Services. She stepped down from her role as UVA chief information officer, which she held since 2014, last December. Evans then served as special assistant to the chief operating officer through April.
The CMIT IT Leadership Award focuses on her contributions as CIO for the University.

Evans’ tenure as CIO was marked by rapid and continuous change and improvement in UVA’s IT infrastructure, security, policies and practices. It includes plenty of unexpected challenges along the way, such as the urgent need to move 4,200 courses online during the 2020 spring semester upended by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Evans also was credited for making IT service more responsive and developing a roadmap to make research computing more robust.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a master’s degree in management information systems from the McIntire School.

Congratulations, Virginia!
