Dear Friends,
Registration is now open for NERCOMP's upcoming workshop: 

"Higher Ed 101 - Filling a Void in IT Professional Development "

DATE: 
September 23, 2004

TIME: 
9:00- 2:30 (Coffee and Registration start at 8:00)

PRICE: 
NERCOMP Members: $77, Non-Members: $177

LOCATION: 
College of the Holy Cross 
Hogan Campus Center
Worcester, MA.

DESCRIPTION: 
After a series of awkward incidents precipitated by IT staff misunderstanding of the organizational structure of higher education, Information Services at Northeastern University decided to fill a void in our professional development offerings by launching Higher Ed 101. This course explains the constraints upon information technology in an academic environment; delves into the role of the president, provost and board of trustees; and ends with a graphic description of the demands the 'new' student is making on both the IT function and the very construct of higher education. Come to this workshop to learn that a quad can be a green grassy area surrounded by buildings, how tenure can affect the process of information technology and, oh yes, to see if you can get a passing grade. The afternoon session will include a spirited discussion with administrators and others about how IT/Academe cultural clashes can create havoc for everyone.
