Jane Fedorowicz, the Rae D. Anderson Chair of Accounting and Information Systems, holds a joint appointment as a full professor in the Accountancy and Computer Information Systems departments at Bentley College. Professor Fedorowicz earned MS and Ph.D. degrees in Systems Sciences from Carnegie Mellon University, and a BS in Health Systems Management from the University of Connecticut.

Before joining the Bentley faculty in 1994, she taught Information Systems at Carnegie Mellon University, Northwestern University, Boston University, and the University of Massachusetts at Boston. She currently serves as Vice President of Chapters and Affiliated Organizations for the Association for Information Systems (AIS). In this capacity, she has introduced geographic AIS chapters into Australasia, Hawaii, Morocco, Slovenia, Italy, and the Chinese-speaking world. She also serves as the Northeast regional representative for the Emerging Technologies Section of the American Accounting Association, and was co-general chair for the 2001 Americas Conference for Information Systems of AIS. She has been active on the governing council of INFORMS, the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences, and its predecessor, TIMS, the Institute for Management Sciences, and participated on an executive committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). She is also a member of the editorial board for many information system journals.

Her expertise in integrating IT into business degree programs has been instrumental in launching several initiatives at Bentley College, notably, undergraduate and graduate programs in Accounting Information Systems and the E-business concentration in the MBA program. She took a leading role in developing Bentley's Accounting Center for Electronic Learning and Business Measurement (ACELAB), a hands-on, state-of-the-art technology facility.

Professor Fedorowicz has published over 60 articles in refereed journals and conference proceedings. Her recent co-authored textbook, Business Processes and Information Technology, introduces students to the applications of IT within a variety of business processes, and emphasizes information quality and control issues in each process. Her research spans a wide range of IT issues and technologies impacting individual and organizational effectiveness. She currently acts as principal investigator of a research group known as the Invision Project, which is examining a range of issues and impacts resulting from interorganizational information sharing across a number of domains and industries, such as supply chain integration. The American Accounting Association recognized Professor Fedorowicz with the 1997 Notable Contribution to the Information Systems Literature Award, and she was selected as Bentley College's Scholar of the Year for 2000.

In her spare time, she enjoys being with her husband and two sons. The family is avid about camping, and they travel extensively around the US and the world. She is a den leader in the Cub Scouts, and would love to have more time to garden, read and exercise.
