Leadership Development, EDUCAUSE2007, and higher education IT

I was really looking forward to hearing more about Microsoft Live@Edu, communication strategies (texting, portal and othe web services), LMS and organizational strategies for IT units at other colleges. But I didn't make it out to Seattle this year because we are getting ready to meet our first milestone for MICA Connected.On Monday we will release Oracle/PeopleSoft Campus Solutions 9.0 to our community. Along with CS 9.0 we are upgrading our Oracle/PeopleSoft portal and with a entirely new approach to branding and integration with our main web site.I'm optimistic that after we launch these new systems on Monday I'll have some time to catch up on all the news from Educause 2007.

There will be NO walk-in registration on site in Seattle.
