HIGH POINT – Craig Chadwell in High Point University’s Office of Information Technology has received a promotion from auxiliary service technician to network administrator.
In his new and more senior role, Chadwell is responsible for the design, engineering and implementation of HPU’s IT networks, which include the LAN, WAN, telephone system and cable TV networks. He looks after the functionality and suitability of these pervasive networks continually and will be their chief architect into the future.

His performance combined with his embodiment of High Point University’s core values made him the natural choice for this promotion.”
