Holiday Party a Hit |
|
| This fall Wendy Gall started as the
department Macintosh Computer Manager after Yann Ricard moved on. Wendy's
diverse background makes her a valuable addition to the department's support
staff. Wendy received her degree in Geography from UCSB. As a student, she specialized in Ocean Sciences and even attended several classes offered by the Geological Sciences department. Wendy spent several years working in the Commercial and Sport Fishing industries indulging her interest in Ocean Studies. Wendy is no stranger to Geological Sciences. In 1995 she first worked for the department as Yann's Student Assistant. Later she worked for the UCSB Department of Environmental Health and Safety as a Computer Resource Specialist. In 1998 Wendy left UCSB to become Technology Coordinator at Hope Elementary School where her duties included K-6 student instruction, staff development, technology planning, and network management. Wendy has lived in Santa Barbara since 1971, which almost makes her a native. In addition to helping with your computer needs, she might let you in on some of the "locals only" secrets. Stop in and say "hi" to our newest staff member. |
 While the rest of the country shivered on December 13th, department faculty, students and staff enjoyed sunny and warm weather at this year's annual Holiday Party. The lunch feast featured an array of goodies contributed by everyone. After getting their fill, people settled down for the real excitement of the day, the annual gift "exchange". More pictures |

 The department's image processing lab was recently overhauled with new state-of-the-art equipment. The new lab's foundation is a pair of new dual processor Mac G4 computers. The 500MHz machine sports a pair of 19" flat screen monitors while the 450MHz machine has 19" and 17" flat screen monitors. Lab facilities also include a Minolta Digiscan 2820 dpi slide scanner, Umax PowerLook LL100 1200 dpi flatbed scanner with transmitted light capability, and a 10X CD burner. The new lab is the latest effort to ensure department students and faculty have the best equipment possible. |
