“Throughout his career at Texas A&M University, Larry has consistently proven himself to be one of the most trusted leaders in information technology,” Timothy Chester, chief information officer, said in the release.

Malota will be responsible for leading the development and implementation of Banner, the new information system, as well as keeping up with DegreeWorks.

The release said once Banner is implemented, which could be as late as 2014, Malota will oversee EITS teams.

The new associate chief information officer earned his bachelor’s degree in 1977 and master’s degree in 1986 both from Texas A&M.
