UK's Vince Kellen Makes List of 'Most Social' CIOs

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 16, 2013) — Vince Kellen, the University of Kentucky's senior vice provost for academic planning, analytics and technologies, has been picked as one of the nation's "Top 50 Most Social CIO's in Higher Education." 

The list, compiled by Vala Afshar, chief marketing officer and chief customer officer for Enterasys Networks, appeared last week on the Huffington Post website. 

Kellen has presented at 10 higher education and technology conferences in the past year including Educause, Dell World and AIM conference. In the presentations, Kellen discussed MOOCs (massive open online courses), how technology will continue to challenge higher education, closing the gap between technology and academic leadership, and driving student success through predictive analytics.
