I think some Internetworkers and TriLUGers might be interested in this event.

In 1959, the UNC Computation Center began operating with a Univac 1105 computer. In March 1960, Bill Friday presided over dedicating the Computation Center.

We've come a long way since then! You can take advantage of an opportunity to look back and look forward this spring when Chancellor Thorp, Bill Friday, and other special guests will help celebrate 50 years of computing on campus.

The event, sponsored by ITS, Computer Science, and the School of
Information and Library Science, will take place in the Nelson Mandela
Auditorium at the FedEx Global Education Center.

Thursday March 18
2:00-3:15PM

Please share this information with others on- and off-campus.
