Should the champions be the head of departments?

Hi, I have recently been appointed as the ISMS lead in a small university. Currently trying to appoint the champions to work with. Should the champions be the head of departments or can I appoint other members of the department?

Considered your situation, the head of departments should be your first choice, but an alternative would be people designated by them, with the needed authorities.

This article will provide you a further explanation about roles and responsibilities:
