UCCS

Welcome to the 39th annual ACM SIGUCCS Conference in sunny San Diego, California! This year's theme One Team...One Mission has so many special meanings to this organization as well as to the many colleges and universities world-wide represented here this week.

"One Team" is a great new vision for SIGUCCS...to have both of our conferences in one location at one time of year is a bold venture. Hopefully as the week unfolds, the possibilities of "One Mission" will come into focus as well. Just as the vision of a pilot becomes expanded, almost limitless, as they break through the cloud dome, so is my hope for each of you...that your opportunities for sharing and learning, for helping and growing, are limitless. I hope your vision of the future is a little brighter as you reenter your home "airspace", taking with you the resources, relationships, innovative ideas and energy from your friends, colleagues and speakers.

Maybe you were able to take advantage of the change in scheduling and attend both conferences or possibly enjoy some team-building time with your colleagues. Or maybe you didn't change a thing. Either way, I'm thankful you are here. You are an important part of the SIGUCCS Team. Whether you are a veteran attendee or this is your maiden flight, I'm certain you will find something or someone to inspire you.
