Blogging Friday

instead of Thursday because I totally forgot on Thursday!

I really enjoyed the Digital Gallery talk last night with Joe McKay which is why I totally forgot to blog yesterday.

And Wednesday Ivan Seidenberg visited with the Seidenberg Scholars and with the Computer Club at the downtown NY campus.

We held the UPE induction on Monday evening and it was a pleasure to see the new members of the chapter as well as to meet their families.

I hope everyone's semester is underway, and that you are all working hard and making your studies priority number one, regardless of what else is going on in your lives. I do know how hard it is to work and go to school, as some of you are, because I earned my MBA and my PhD while working full time. Make sure that you make your education a priority; work will always be there but school won't!

Some of you are probably getting ready for midterms. Study hard, get a good night's sleep and remember to breathe during the exam.

See you on campus and in cyberspace.

Lots going on!

I hope your semester is going well. Some of you might be getting ready for midterm exams or projects. Study/work hard and I wish you good luck.

Some things going on that might interest some of you:

• Monday at the Graduate Center at 5 PM we are inducting students into Upsilon Pi Epsilon, the international honor society for the computing and information disciplines. Congratulations to all of you who are being inducted-you can be proud of your academic achievements.
  

• Mr. Ivan Seidenberg, chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Verizon Communications for whom our School is named, will be meeting with the Computer Club at the New York campus on Wednesday during common hour.

• The Digital Gallery will be hosting Joe McKay on Thursday evening, with a reception to follow. The current exhibit, The Aesthetics of Gaming, is an excellent example of the kinds of interdisciplinary activities that we are pleased to promote. Professors Frank Marchese and Jillian McDonald co-curate. Please plan to join us at 6 PM on Thursday at 163 William Street.

As always, I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can. If you see me on a campus, please introduce yourself. If you are not on campus but join us in cyberspace, please send me an e-mail and let me know something about you!
