A Great Transformation: Computers and Automation at McGill 1959-2009 (James McGill Society)
A Great Transformation: Computers and Automation at McGill 1959-2009 (James McGill Society)
Presented by McGill's Provost, Professor Anthony C. Masi
In 1959 McGill acquired its first computer, with a strict warning that it be the University’s only computer!
Fifty years later, virtually all faculty, staff, and students possess personal computers. Teaching, research and administration at McGill have been transformed by information technology.
Anthony Masi, McGill’s Provost since 2005, joined the Department of Sociology in 1979. His McGill positions include serving as Director of Faculty of Arts Information Services, Associate Dean (Faculty of Arts), Vice-Principal (Information Systems and Technology) and Chief Information Officer.
All are welcome.
