Shawn Walden

Colleges and universities of all sizes are looking to shared services partnerships and consortia to remove unnecessary expenses without impacting the intuition’s mission, and pooling IT resources with other institutions is a prime area of opportunity.

As Senior Vice President, Shawn Walden helps colleges and universities greatly improve institutional efficiencies through the strategic allocation of pooled IT resources among partner institutions.

With more than two decades of experience in higher education leadership positions, Walden has helped more than 50 institutions successfully advance their institutional goals by strategically deploying technology and driving successful digital transformation, including the management and oversight of IT staffing and organizational models, ERP systems, Learning Management Systems (LMS), campus network infrastructures and various other administrative platforms and solutions.

Shawn leverages that expertise to help institutions form successful shared IT services partnerships and consortia at the outset, then he actively manages those engagements to ensure each partner institution maximizes the value of their investment and receives the exact IT support they need, drawing from Dynamic Campus’s deep bench of Expert IT Services staff deployed across the U.S.

Before joining Dynamic Campus in 2014, Shawn served as Vice President of New Campuses for Rasmussen College where he had responsibility for all aspects of opening new campuses including enrollment management, instructional delivery, financial management and federal compliance.

Prior to Rasmussen, Shawn was with Collegis for nine years, serving in different leadership capacities including CIO for four institutions, as well as General Manager and Vice President. During this time he was responsible for the strategic and tactical delivery of managed services for over 35 institutions.

Shawn received his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Management Information Systems from Emporia State University.
