Meet Helen Chu

Our new director of academic information services brings expertise, new perspective to the job

On the day of our interview, Helen Chu had been in Eugene only three weeks and on the job only three days, but already our new director of academic information services was feeling very much at home. "I'm excited to be here. It feels like a good place to be for a very long time," she said.

This is a serious compliment considering that Chu, who comes to us from sunny San Luis Obispo, first arrived on campus during a violent rain and wind storm of historic proportions.

Chu brings with her an impressive array of skills in academic information technology development and administrative computing acquired over the past decade. Most recently, she was director of library information technology at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, where she spearheaded the creation of the Learning Commons, launched new online search services, and developed an Internet2 faculty research and development lab.
