Dear Colleagues:

As you may have seen in earlier announcements, Internet2 will host a very
special Internet2 Virtual Briefing on Thursday, October 10. The briefing
will feature a broadcast of Internet2 President Dr. Douglas Van
Houweling’s recent presentation at the EDUCAUSE 2002 Conference in
Atlanta, Georgia where he was given the EDUCAUSE Excellence in Leadership
Award.  Doug will share how his experiences in information
technology leadership positions have shaped his thinking on value,
values, collaborations, and vision for higher education.  Following
the broadcast, Doug will share his thoughts on how the interplay of value
and values, as well as work in collaboration technologies, affect the
Internet2 community. The October Briefing will also offer participants an
opportunity to engage in dialogue with Doug about these and other vital
community issues, via email or H.323.  Questions can be submitted at
any time to . 

Doug Van Houweling’s EDUCAUSE presentation will kick off at 1:00 EDT; his
Internet2 community-focused remarks and the interactive Q & A session
will begin at approximately 1:50 EDT.  

The EDUCAUSE Leadership Awards program recognizes prominent leaders in
the field of higher education information technology management for
significant achievement and broad influence. The Excellence in Leadership
Award is the highest individual honor given by the  association and
in 2002 has been given to Douglas Van Houweling, President and CEO of
Internet2, for extraordinary effectiveness, influence, statesmanship, and
lifetime achievement, on both individual campuses and the wider higher
education community.

EDUCAUSE and Internet2 worked together to provide live netcasts, in a
variety of streaming media formats, of two of the general sessions
and  all eight featured speaker presentations at the EDUCAUSE Annual
Conference in Atlanta, October 1-4, 2002. These sessions are now archived
in the EDUCAUSE Information Resources Library. To access, go to the
conference netcast URL:
