Jordan DiMaggio is the Vice President of Policy and Digital Strategy for UPCEA. He brings a background in non-profit organizations and public service, with a career spanning federal policy, data infrastructure, web design, and collaborative communications. His work focuses on higher education and federal policy reform, alongside the technology strategy and organizational structure that enable a modern association to operate effectively in a rapidly evolving environment.

As UPCEA’s federal advocacy and governmental relations liaison, Jordan advances policies that support online and nontraditional students and the universities that serve them. He has been quoted in publications including Inside Higher Ed and The Chronicle of Higher Education on issues at the intersection of federal policy and online and professional education, and he regularly works alongside member institutions, partner associations, and Congressional offices to ensure the perspectives of post-traditional learners are part of national policy conversations.

Jordan also leads UPCEA’s digital strategy and information systems, overseeing the association’s databases, data security, web presence, and email and content marketing, and guiding how the organization adopts and integrates emerging technology. He has been instrumental in shaping UPCEA’s approach to artificial intelligence, helping to build a thoughtful internal AI policy, training, and evaluation framework so staff can use new tools responsibly and in ways that advance the association’s mission. Across these areas, his focus is on connecting policy, technology, and strategy so each strengthens the others.

Jordan serves on the Board of Directors of the Today’s Students Coalition and has been involved in the Coalition’s work since its founding, contributing to its advocacy on behalf of post-traditional learners. Jordan joined UPCEA in April 2013.

Before joining UPCEA, Jordan worked on Capitol Hill for former U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman (NM) as Systems Administrator and Legislative Aide. Prior to that, he served as a Court Clerk in the Second Judicial District Court of New Mexico in their criminal, civil, and domestic relations divisions.
