"These two topics are of paramount importance to the nation's economic health
and national security," Finkelstein says. "They also align with the college's intellectual
strengths and will give us an opportunity to showcase our leadership in the software
and security fields."
The one-day Tech Forum will also include an official inauguration ceremony
and tours of the new building called West Village H. The inauguration will feature
Northeastern President Richard M. Freeland, Provost Ahmed T. Abdelal, and Dean
Finkelstein, as well as invited government officials. Remarks will focus on the ascen-
dance of Northeastern in higher education, the importance of IT to the mission of
the University, and the role the new building will play in helping CCIS realize its
vision. A luncheon will be held for industry leaders, trustees, corporate sponsors,
and other registered attendees.
Faculty and staff moved into the new building in the spring and classes began
there this fall. The building features integrated learning centers in which faculty
offices are surrounded by graduate student labs and plenty of space for informal
faculty-student meetings. Teaching capabilities include a seventy-six-seat general-
purpose computing laboratory and two PC labs with forty-eight and forty seats,
which will be used for teaching introductory courses. The entire facility has
wireless Internet access.
While there will be only one building inauguration, Finkelstein plans to make
the Tech Forum a regular event. "We hope to expand the Tech Forum over time so
that members of the high-tech community think of it as a vital opportunity to learn
about future trends in the information technology space," he says.
