He not only led the effort to connect members of the UCF community across locations and campuses through the campus network but collaborated with State University System institutions to create Florida LambdaRail, which provides reliable, high-capacity connections to the Internet and Internet2. He laid the technological framework for both Medical City and UCF Downtown and developed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/partnerships\/\">effective partnerships with major technology companies such as Microsoft<\/a>. And he also increased information security measures across the board to respond to the ever-evolving cyber landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Under his vision, academic endeavors entered the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century through the development of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/pegasus\/quality-education-online-learning\/\">UCF\u2019s highly successful online learning initiative<\/a>, the equipping of all classrooms with modern multimedia technology, the expansion of library resources and the launch of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/ucfs-oldest-building-transformed-21st-century-library\/\">the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century Library project<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Long seen as an expert in his field, Hartman is the only person to have received top leadership recognition awards from both EDUCAUSE and the Online Learning Consortium. He has served as an information technology consultant to both the public and the private sectors, has published numerous articles, delivered many conference presentations, and has been active in the development of statewide education and research networks in Illinois and Florida. He has served and held offices on numerous state, regional and national IT organizations in the fields of public broadcasting, distributed learning as well as research and education networking.<\/p>\n<p>Hartman graduated from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, with both bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees in journalism and communications and earned his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/curriculum-and-instruction-ed-d\/\">doctorate in curriculum and instruction from UCF<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During his tenure at UCF, Hartman has vastly impacted the university\u2019s connectivity, security and learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":105879,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"lazy_load_responsive_images_disabled":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2294,2503],"tu_author":[],"class_list":["post-105877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colleges","tag-information-technology","tag-joel-hartman"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>UCF VP and CIO Joel Hartman to Retire July 1 | University of Central Florida News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"During his tenure at UCF, Hartman has vastly impacted the university\u2019s connectivity, security and learning.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/ucf-vp-and-cio-joel-hartman-to-retire-july-1\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"UCF VP and CIO Joel Hartman to Retire July 1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"During his tenure at UCF, Hartman has vastly impacted the university\u2019s connectivity, security and learning.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/ucf-vp-and-cio-joel-hartman-to-retire-july-1\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"University of Central Florida News | UCF Today\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UCF\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-01-10T15:44:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-04-14T17:47:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2020\/01\/ucf-joel-hartman.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Laura J.
