What People Say... Lisa Goldberg, Sr. Systems Analyst/Programmer Univ. of Rochester 1996 first-time attendee "It was very gratifying to meet people in the same situations as I. New challanges and difficult issues at my campus became clearer as I learned how they were handled at other universities. I learned a lot, had a wonderful time and made not only important work contacts but friends I look forward to seeing again."   Austin Robinson-Coolidge, HotLine Manager St. Olaf College 1996 first-time attendee "Atending the SIGUCCS conference had a three-fold benefit to my job. First, it showed me that there really were other people out there who were struggling with many of the same issues I was and showed me some solutions they had come up with. Second, it provided me with a network of peers I can call on when I need advice, assistance, or a sounding board. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it left me with a feeling of excitement and energy toward my job and an eagerness to improve computing at St. Olaf college."   Jeanne Kellogg, Director, User Services Colgate University longtime attendee "Monterey will be my ninth SIGUCCS meeting, and I am anticipating yet another enormously successful conference. At my first meeting (Toledo, 1985) I was struck both by the friendly nature of the group, and the immediate bonding I experienced with many other attendees. You don't have to explain exactly what it is you do! And everyone else you meet will have war stories to rival your best ones."   Susan Hales, Client Services Group Leader Bucknell University longtime attendee "I am eagerly looking forward to my seventh SIGUCCS in Monterey! At SIGUCCS, you get to briefly set aside the day-to-day demands of your job and get together with peers. Just as helpful as the presentations are the less formal conversations you have with colleagues over breakfast, after dinner, during Birds of a Feather sessions... SIGUCCS gives attendees a chance to broaden their horizons, make helpful contacts and collaborative partners, get rejuvenated, hatch new ideas, and just have fun with friends."   Job Titles Who You Can Meet...
