TAKE NOTE! The GSATC Meets one week earlier in June. We meet on June 4, 2008!
Cyberinfrastructure (CI), has become a key enabler for teaching, distance education, scholarly research, collaboration and learning technologies. Faculty, students, researchers and IT professionals are becoming increasingly reliant on a mixture of communications hardware and software, networking, high-performance computing and storage, virtual organizations and experienced information technology support professionals.
The US is involved in a comprehensive effort to build an advanced cyberinfrastructure to compete globally. And Clemson University is committed to building an advanced cyberinfrastructure to support its move into the Top 20 of the nation’s public universities. Learn more about Clemson and Cyberinfrastructure as we hear from Clemson University’s Chief Technical Officer, Jim Pepin.

Feedback About This Meeting
As always, the entertainment (you) was great - you keep the meeting moving and humorous. Jim Pepin also gave a good overview of Clemson’s efforts to be current with a research university’s role in CI.
-Bill
Mr. Pepin’s presentation was very informative. Even as a Clemson PhD student, I was not aware of the university’s contemporary use of information technology. It was also exciting to learn the active role Clemson is playing in the networking of South Carolina with other states in the region.
- Jennifer
The meeting today exceeded my expectations. I was please to be able to network with a fine group of Technology professionals and Mr. Pepin’s talk was very informative. Keep up the good work and I look forward to next month’s meeting

the GSATC luncheon amazes me every time as you always find a way to improve over the last one. Your approach to combine technology, information and entertainment is unique and very enjoyable. The speaker was brilliant!

I really enjoyed the meeting yesterday! I am an IT Recruiter, and it is really important to me to hear about new advances in technology. I enjoyed Jim Pepin’s presentation and found it to be very informative.
- Tracy
It’s terrific that GSATC highlights top-flight speakers like Jim Pepin, Clemson CTO, who was in the original cadre that created Arpanet, the predecessor of the Internet, 40 years ago. We’re privileged to get a peek inside the minds of people like Jim.

Great meeting as usual. I wish I could make more events, and will make a better effort to attend more often.
