Torch, Winter 1993

CAMPUS NEWS Network Update C edarNet has become an important part of the Cedarville College culture. During the fall quarter faculty and students learned to utilize the versatile computer network in the academic arena as well as in daily communications. Currently computers in 300 dormitory rooms, four public labs, offices, and the library are connected through CedarNet. In January CedarNet was linked with Internet, which connects tens of thousands of computers in educational institutions and businesses around the world. Internet makes possible the global sharing of files and electronic mail right from residence hall rooms or offices at Cedarville. The IBM Corporation, which selected Cedarville to be a showcase partner in the CedarNet project, has donated over $550,000 in consulting time and equipment, including a computer lab in the new Engineering/Nursing/Science Center. This lab is the largest of the four public student labs and includes 32 workstations providing student access to the network. 4 Torch The board of trustees has named Dr. Robert Gromacki Cedarville's first Distinguished Professor.
