Higher education technology leadership
I'm Jason Martin, Senior Director of Information and Educational Technology at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. I lead technology, security, and learning-space strategy for about 3,000 faculty, staff, students, and affiliates across two campuses.
Selected work
A few representative initiatives. Happy to walk through any of them in detail.
Learning spaces
Planned and delivered classroom, active-learning, and conferencing technology across both campuses so a course taught in Chapel Hill runs the same way in Asheville.
Outcome: consistent, supportable rooms and a negotiated vendor quote reduced by more than two-thirds.
Governance & AI
Built a governance process that puts new tools, including AI products, through security, privacy, accessibility, and cost review before they reach faculty and students.
Outcome: faster, defensible yes-or-no decisions and fewer surprise tools in the environment.
Security
Own the school's information security policy and supervise security staff, working hand in hand with the university's central incident response team.
Outcome: clear local accountability that fits cleanly into the enterprise model.
Research support
Created a structured intake questionnaire and a 60-term glossary for researchers working with identifiable genomic data, turning compliance requirements into plain-language guidance.
Outcome: researchers know what's required before the data arrives, not after.
Enterprise platforms
Led moves across enterprise service platforms including ServiceNow and TeamDynamix, aligning school workflows with university standards.
Outcome: one front door for support and better data on what people actually need.
System leadership
Chaired ITEC, the forum where technology leaders across UNC coordinate priorities and shared services.
Outcome: stronger collaboration between school-level IT and central IT.

How I work
Technology decisions start with what faculty, students, and researchers are trying to do.
Security and privacy are designed in, not bolted on. This site is built the same way.
I build teams of managers who own outcomes, so the organization doesn't depend on one person.
Hard vendor negotiation and honest total-cost thinking free up money for what matters.
