In 1979 the staff consisted of a keypunch operator, five student workers and myself. Today I manage 10 full-time employees and 25 student workers supporting the Terry College's computing infrastructure, computer classrooms and computer labs for our faculty, staff and students' needs.
Faculty continue to present creative ideas for the use of technology.
The landscape keeps changing and that satisfies my creative bent. I graduated magna cum laude from the university in 1975 with a bachelor's degree in mathematics. I began working full time for the board of regents as a data-flow coordinator in August 1975. I stayed until December 1979 at which time I moved to the Terry College of Business to create a Computer Center. At the same time, I would like to help teach children how to manage their money, how credit cards work, how to live on a budget, etc.
