CUMREC Annual Conference (An EDUCAUSE Affiliate)

From its first conference in 1956—envisioned and sponsored by Frank Martin at Michigan State University—to its last at Keystone, Colorado, in 2005, CUMREC had a distinguished history of advancing the professional development of administrative computing professionals in higher education. In those 50 years, information technology grew from processing keypunch cards for accounting and registration to far-ranging database-driven online services and resources, mediated by the Internet 24x7 on high-speed and wireless networks for all campus constituents. CUMREC itself changed from the College and University Machine Records Conference to CUMREC – A Higher Education Administrative Technology Conference. Through the annual conference, thousands of IT professionals shared their ideas, accomplishments, technologies, methods, and solutions. In a collegial spirit of sharing, CUMREC made a lasting contribution to aligning the IT organization's mission with the institution's mission.
