The university received the award for IDAR’s Data Innovators program, which was created in 2021 to empower and upskill the data capabilities of the St. Thomas community. “This is a tremendous honor in the IT world, the education sector, and a first for the university,” Jena Zangs, director of IDAR and deputy chief data officer said. “We made this vision a reality together, our whole IDAR team and all of the cohort members!”

Zangs co-led the initiative with Julie Zilka, associate director of data empowerment. Additional IDAR team members include: Trent Brager, Doug Carmody, Bryan Helminiak, Sushant Khullar and Matt Watschke. Gartner is a leading technology and research consulting firm. Winners were chosen both by Gartner judges and by a public vote of more than 7,000 people.
