A Word from the Associate Vice President

Welcome to the new academic year! The anticipation of cooler weather, new adventures, and renewed friendships is in the air. With the board of trustees approving "The University of Alabama’s Technology Directions for 2000 and Beyond" plan, The University of Alabama has even more to anticipate.

The new funding will:

  • Provide a state-of-the-art network for the entire campus
  • Improve the performance and functionality of the business systems
  • Improve access to the enterprise data
  • Increase the services and educational opportunities provided via the Web
  • Enhance the libraries' information systems

In subsequent articles, I will elaborate on the benefits of this approved plan. Until then, may you have a wonderful start to the new academic year.

Sincerely,

Dr. Priscilla Hancock
