Academic Computing Services is pleased to announce this year's annual technology fair, entitled “Technologies for Tomorrow's Campus”. This year's event is of particular significance, since it explores technologies and trends that have potential for becoming an integral part of our vision for the new campus. It embodies the beginning of a transition from the computing environment as it is today, to a more progressive and world class platform that we can look forward to in the new campus. The event will be inaugurated by President Arnold, Provost Sullivan and Dean El Sawy, to be followed by a series of seminars and demos organized especially for the day. In preparation for the event, we have pooled resources and expertise from departments involved with the new campus and the provision of technology within AUC, and from leading vendors in the technology arena in Egypt, the Middle East and Europe, who will each be presenting their vision for the future of educational technology. AUC departments participating in the event include the Office for New Campus Development - Dr. Hussein El Sharkawy, AUC Computing - Dr. Samy Al Akabawi, Classroom Technologies and Media Services - Mr. Shelly Allen, and the Center for Learning and Teaching - Dr. Pandelli Glavanis. ACS will be presenting seminars by Dr. Mona Kaddah & Dr. Sherif El Kassas, and several booths displaying demos of new products and trends for evaluation and feedback.
