“With CEMI, we will modernize workflows, provide better tools, and enable smarter, data-driven decisions. I’m confident CEMI will significantly reduce barriers for our faculty, students, and staff, fostering deeper engagement with our core missions,” he said.

The students, faculty, staff, researchers, alumni, parents, donors, and our corporate partners all have to figure out their unique path through our tech stack on their own.”
