Joe Shelley

President David Wippman has announced that Joe Shelley, assistant vice chancellor and CIO, information technologies, at the University of Washington Bothell, will become the College’s next vice president for libraries and information technology.

Shelley will report to Wippman and serve as a member of the senior staff. He will succeed David Smallen, who is retiring after 45 years at Hamilton. The appointment is effective August 1.

“Joe Shelley has direct experience managing technology and library services to support student learning,” said Wippman. “As the current chief technology officer at Bothell, he has a keen understanding of how the library and IT enhance teaching and learning at a college like Hamilton.”

“I am honored to join such a thoughtful and vigorous academic community,” Shelley said. “I am especially excited to join an organization where the library and technology teams have joined together to create new opportunities for students and faculty. I began my career in the library and have worked to bring IT and the library together ever since. Hamilton’s collections, shared learning spaces, technology and information resources all work together to support a distinctive academic experience. I’m thrilled to serve a community that makes this possible.”
