Bill Graves, senior vice president, academic strategy, provides guidance for SunGard Higher Education’s ongoing initiatives to support teaching and learning. Working closely with other members of the executive team, Dr. Graves’s unique perspective and experience help us position SunGard Higher Education as an education partner able to contribute to the realization of institutional goals and initiatives. Dr. Graves is a professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). He writes a periodic academic technology column for Campus Technology and publishes papers in the EDUCAUSE Review and other periodicals. He serves as a co-founding board member on the boards of both the National Center for Academic Transformation and the Alliance for Higher Education Competitiveness. He also has served on the boards of a number of other higher education associations. Dr. Graves earned a mathematics Ph.D. from Indiana University before joining the faculty at UNC, where he also served as dean for general education, interim vice chancellor for academic affairs, senior information technology officer under various titles, and founder and director of the Institute for Academic Technology (a UNC/IBM alliance). At SunGard Higher Education, he continues to advocate for the transformative role of technology in systemically and measurably improving and accounting for institutional performance in higher education.
