Class note: I have arranged a tour of the campus switch room for TO BE DETERMINED. I am asking everyone to come to class early, so that we can start at 6:00pm. We will meet in BA 111 where you will leave your backpacks, books, coats, etc. and then proceed to the location. This is a first for us - the first time that any class has gotten a tour of the switch room. Anyone not in the classroom when we leave it around 6:10pm will not be able to make the tour. No backpacks, bags, etc. on the tour please! Our guide will be Rick "Bro" Brokofsky, Director of Telecommunications. Check out the department org chart here or look at this picture of Larry Sheldon in the switch room. This is going to be fun!!
