The June GSATC Lunch featured Jim Pepin, CTO of Clemson University as he talked about Cyberinfrastructure and how Clemson is approaching the challenge of becoming a top 20 university. It was heady stuff and they have made quite a bit of progress. We’ll be posting Jim’s presentation soon, but I thought you might want to hear what some of the attendees had to say about the 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.

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.

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.

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.
-Dave
The topic was most interesting and enjoyed the presentation.
-Becky
Enjoyed the presentation very much. Some of it was way over my knowledge level but the overall discussion was great. I was amazed at how much Clemson is doing to bring SC to the forefront of networking and infrastructure. We need all of this we can get in SC.

I thought the meeting was very interesting. Phil - you’re a great MC! Although I may not be able to use the information directly about Clemson, it was really neat to see how they’re tying in to the ‘latest and greatest’ technology. Also, the other attendees were interesting and I look forward to participating in more meetings/gatherings. I want to keep up to date on the IT aspect of technology and try to figure out how I may be able to update aspects of my business. Even as an artist I still have a technical mind and want to use leading edge concepts whenever and wherever they’re feasible, profitable, and make sense.
