"Serving on an EDUCAUSE program committee was an incredibly enriching experience. I had the opportunity to work with talented colleagues from other institutions and the very capable EDUCAUSE staff. It was also rewarding to attend the conference and view the fruits of the committee’s labor."
-Melissa Woo, Assistant Director, Systems and Technology Services, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
