Program Descriptions
Presentation 5B: Career Development Program for Student Employees
Presenter/Institution: Tom Rees (University of Arizona)
Format: Lecture
Theme: Leadership and Management
Technical level: 0
Location: Singer 161
Description: Student Computing at the University of Arizona employs about 75 students in 7 different job categories, with widely
varying salaries, responsibilities, and skill levels. But, student employees are students first, and employees second. Because of this
we have a responsibility not only to be a good employer, but to enhance their education as well. To facilitate this, we have
developed a Student Career Development program. The program builds a structure to allow our student employees to move along a
voluntary career path of their choosing. We'll discuss how the program works, what it costs, what it's meant for both the students
and our organization.
Presentation 5C: Exorcising Ghost: Windows Imaging at Stanford
Presenter/Institution: Dustin King (Stanford University)
Format: Lecture
Theme: Cool Tools
Technical level: 6
Location: Singer 351
Description: Stanford University Student Computing manages several hundred Windows machines in over 100 locations spread out
across the residences, libraries, and other public areas. We use Symantec Ghost to create full disk and partition images and to write
those images back out to disk on our machines. However, we don't generally use Ghost to transfer images across the network, and
we rely on a number of other management tools to reduce the frequency with which we perform full-partition or full-disk imaging.
This presentation will provide an overview of how we use PXE booting, local Ghosting, patching scripts, configuration files located on
network resources, SSH servers, Sysprep, and BITS to make our imaging model more flexible and efficient.
Presentation 5D: ResNet Changes at Indiana University – for the last 2 Years and for the 2008 Fall Move-In
Presenter/Institution: Lowell Furman (Indiana University)
Format: Lecture
Theme: ResNet Operations
Technical level: 4
Location: Singer 361
Description: In the last two years, Residential IT Services (RITS) at Indiana University has undergone major changes in our
organization and processes. The change areas include: Vista OS preparation; Network Cable distribution; “Get Connected” software
distribution; Move-in (Sweeps) process; and changes due to budget constraints. For Fall 2008, Indiana University is adding 90% more
wireless access coverage in the residence halls. During the presentation, I will review the RITS organization, our processes, and the
major changes we have made in the last two years. Then I will discuss the 2008 Fall Move-in planning process and the impact of 90%
having additional wireless coverage in the residence halls. At the end, I will save time for discussions about other universities ResNet
experiences.
Presentation 5E: The Switch to Google Apps for Email
Presenter/Institution:Chester Andrews (Oberlin College), Dee Childs (Louisiana State University), Erik Strahm (UC San Diego)
Format: Panel
Theme: Education and Learning Technologies
Technical level: 3
Location: Tilley 205
Description: Oberlin College is choosing Google Apps (including Gmail) as the email platform for students, faculty and staff starting in
Fall 2008. We will talk about planning, small pilot testing, broader pilot testing, implementation plans and successes. Dee Childs,
Deputy CIO, Louisiana State University and Erik Strahm, University of California at San Diego will join the panel and provide their
perspective.
