WPI Gets Kudos for Networking

WPI received honorable mention for its strategically coordinated and integrated network environment at the Oct. 30 annual conference of EDUCAUSE. A pre-eminent association representing more than 1,800 colleges, universities and education organizations, EDUCAUSE addresses the complex issues attending the incorporation of information technology into higher education. The award cites WPI's success in consolidating its core information and technology functions into the Information Technology Division. Over the last two years, well-orchestrated technological advances, including infrastructure upgrades, wireless access, media-streaming capabilities and digital conversion facilities, have improved teaching, learning and research across WPI. "Our shared vision has been to unite the power of knowledge with the flexibility of technology to connect faculty, staff, students and content--anytime, anyplace," says Thomas Lynch, vice president for information technology.
