One of the technical problems undressed this semester is the inability of MS Outlook to send email to the class list from my home computer, even though I use the "send using" option and send it from my PSU account. Anyway, my question is: What is a CIO and what do they do? Chief Information Officer. They direct all IT systems and personnel while communicating directly with the highest levels of the organization. They allow the greatest use of IT in a business.
