nCampus networking award: Cornell has won the 1995 CAUSE Award for Excel lence in Campus Networking, presented for its efforts to make networking widely used on campus. The award was presented on Nov. 30, 1995, at the CAUSE annual con ference in New Orleans.
CAUSE, the association for managing and using information resources at colleges and universities, cited a commitment among Cornell's top administrators to improve the use of information technology as critical to the success of the university's efforts.
"From a situation in 1991, where only half the faculty, a quarter of students and a mere 10 percent of staff were served by a network, Cornell has evolved into an Infor mation Age institution, where 95 percent of the faculty, almost 100 percent of the stu dents and 90 percent of the staff are connected to and use the campus network," the award presenters stated.
Seventeen colleges and universities applied for the award, each documenting an experience that could serve as a model for developing a campuswide network.
nFree English classes: Registration for free English classes sponsored by the Cornell Campus Club will take place on Thursday, Jan. 25, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the One World Room, Anabel Taylor Hall. There is a $10 registration fee. Classes be gin Jan. 29. For more information, call Ann Marie Dullea at 277-2488 or Joan McMinn at 277-0013.
