Network Administrator is the term Information Technology uses to describe the person who makes sure a department's computer networks are up and running. The term describes a function, not a job title. The Network Administrator serves as a link to Information Technology, providing a direct point of contact for technicians, programmers and others who provide service to campus departments.
