Professional Interests

My research and greatest professional interest is in Residential Computing and the effect that this has on higher education. I participate in the ResNet program which has been based at Stanford University. ResNet 97 will be held at Wellesley College June 21-25, 1997 and I will be serving as Chairwoman. Plan to join us....it will be GREAT!

I enjoy surfing the Net and looking for ResNet Resources at Other Academic Institutions.

I also participate actively in CLAC (Consortium of Liberal Arts Colleges). I find that getting to know technology/information professionals from other small liberal arts colleges. I recently served as moderator for a panel of student RCCs (Residential Computing Consultants) at the annual CLAC meeting. As a result of that session, several CLAC members asked that I outline the basics of the Residential Computing Consultant Training here at Wellesley.

Another valuable professional group which I enjoy is NERCOMP (New England Regional Computing).
