| Ringle elected chair of EDUCAUSE | |||
| Martin Ringle, chief
technology officer at Reed, has been elected chair of the EDUCAUSE board
of directors. An association of more than 1,600 colleges and universities,
EDUCAUSE has been instrumental in the development of the internet and internet
2 and serves as the administrator of the “.edu” internet domain
for higher education. EDUCAUSE frequently serves as a primary resource for
federal and state policy-makers on higher education technology issues such
as intellectual pro-perty rights, network security, instructional computing,
and the digital divide. Through his work with EDUCAUSE over the past few
years, Ringle has had the opportunity to meet interesting people such as
Jimmy Carter, Colin Powell, Ross Perot, Sally Ride, Bill Gates, and others.
His favorite encounter, he notes, was with the humorist Dave Barry, whose
dog is rumored to “understand more about technology than most technology
policy makers.”
