For Immediate Release 5 August 1999 Regents
Information Systems Director named to PIERRE- Warren Wilson, Director of
Regents Information Systems for the South Dakota Board of Regents, has been selected to
serve as a member of the newly created EDUCAUSE Publications Advisory Committee. EDUCAUSE
is a global education technology association born in 1998 as the result of a consolidation
by CAUSE and Educom, two separate technology associations with very similar missions and
goals. The mission of EDUCAUSE is to shape
and enable transformational change in higher education through the introduction, use, and
management of information resources and technologies in teaching, learning, scholarship,
research, and institutional management. “I
am honored and excited to be serving on the Publications Advisory Committee for EDUCAUSE. EDUCAUSE is an important organization dedicated to
providing support and professional development for information technologies at colleges
and universities world-wide. The committee
will provide advice on strategies and direction for the EDUCAUSE professional
publications. We will be recommending ways in
which EDUCAUSE publications can be used most effectively and be cutting-edge in content
delivery mechanisms,” said Regents Information Director, Warren Wilson. Publications
by EDUCAUSE include: print-based magazines
and journals, Web publications, monographs, white papers, books, and
other special publications. The EDUCAUSE
periodical CAUSE/EFFECT, a practitioner’s journal about managing and using
information resources, featured the South Dakota Board of Regents in 1998. Twelve
members sit on the EDUCAUSE Publications Advisory Committee and it will be chaired by Toby Sitko, Deputy Executive Director,
Information Resources, City University of New York Graduate Schools and University Center. In establishment of the new committee, members
were appointed in graduated terms. Wilson
will be serving a two-year term. More
