This conference, the third of four scheduled, was held on July 12 -13, 2001 in Nashville TN. Ninety-seven (97) persons attended this two-day event, of which 55 were students, and 33 were faculty and administrators. There were representatives from six (6) different HBCUs, two non-HBCUs, and three government agencies. This highly interactive event opened lines of communications among management, faculty, staff, and students especially, through which positive results will accrue for mutual benefits. In short, this event is a giant step toward the goal of this project, which is to help close the digital divide on HBCU campuses. So, on behalf of Tennessee State University and the AOL Time Warner Foundation, we thank each of the attendees for making this conference a success beyond expectations. |
