Regenstein on board as UCC director

UCC supports the College's undergraduate and graduate instruction, academic department infrastructure, and faculty research. UCC also provides a range of computer services, including support of computer equipment repair, network-based information services, and support for enterprise and departmental systems, across the University.

"Ms. Regenstein has a wonderful background in academic technology, and is very well known and well respected in the educational community," said Vice Provost for Computing Edward Titlebaum. "In addition to managing UCC, she will be an important new participant in the College's efforts--well under way, of course--to use new technology to its utmost in the teaching environment."

Regenstein will report to the vice provost for computing as UCC director and to the dean of the College in her role as assistant dean.

She has been associate director for information technologies since 1993. In Cornell's Academic Technology Services division since 1996, she has been directing the unit that provides support to faculty who use information technologies in instruction, computer labs for students, classroom technology services, and technology training.

In the past year Regenstein has led a group charged with implementing a university-wide distributed computing services model, including services essential to "Project 2000," Cornell's administrative re-engineering initiative.

With a B.A. (Phi Beta Kappa and magna cum laude) from Brooklyn College and M.Ed. in the teaching of foreign languages from Bridgewater State College, Regenstein taught secondary school and adult education until 1981. A few years later she became the coordinator of Project Ezra for Cornell's Computer Services, coordinating services to 255 projects and 350 faculty who participated in IBM's Advanced Education Programs project in support of development of instructional software. As an assistant director for instructional technology services, she directed the national Learning Technologies Program, first sponsored by Apple Computer in 1991, to support faculty using technology in instruction.

Through EDUCOM and other information technology forums, she has published papers and presented widely on information technology issues. Regenstein is currently a faculty member of the CAUSE Management Institute.
