Published by the University of Pennsylvania Tuesday, February 14, 1995 Volume 41 Number 21 With the appointments of three new members, President Judith Rodin rounds out the staffing of the Office of the President as follows: Chief of Staff: As her Chief of Staff, Dr. Rodin has named Stephen D. Schutt, the former chief of staff for U.S. Senator Harris Wofford in Washington. Mr. Schutt is a graduate of Earlham College and the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Before serving as Senator Wofford’s chief of staff, Mr. Schutt was deputy secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. He will provide oversight and manage all units reporting to the President’s Office as a responsibil- ity center (which includes Archives, Affirmative Action, Almanac, Executive Office of the Budget, Ombudsman, and other units). He will also serve as a senior policy advisor to President Rodin, with a particular focus on economic development issues, and will work closely with all deans, faculty and staff in this position. Director: The new Director of the Office is Linda L. Gilvear, former director of campaign programs in the Development Office. Ms. Gilvear joined Penn in 1984 as assistant director of development at SEAS, then served on the University development staff as associate director of individual gifts and as director of southern regional programs until the start of the Campaign for Penn. A graduate of Penn State in speech communication, she also took her M.A. there in education and spent her early career in teaching and management. She will direct all staff responsible for day-to-day operations, including business administration, computer support, office staff, and presidential mail. She will also direct staff responsible for special events and for the President’s House. Staff Writer: Dr. Rodin has named a new staff writer/assistant, Jeffrey Hartman, a 1990 honors graduate of the College of William and Mary who is the former assistant to the president of the Natural Gas Supply Association in Washington, D.C. The three new members join two other senior staff members—Jean Avnet Morse whose ap- pointment as Deputy to the President was announced in the fall, and Dr. Stephen P. Steinberg, who continues as Assistant to the President.

Starting on February 14, 1996—the 50th anniversary of the first computer, ENIAC— Philadelphia will honor computing pioneers and major contributors to the industry open a major new science and technology exhibit; place a series of interactive, information kiosks around the city; host business leaders and top- level students; and expand on-line information about the Philadelphia area. “Year of Computing” events and exhibits will be spotlighted during the 22 trade shows and conventions related to information tech- nology that are being held at the new Penn- sylvania Convention Center in 1996 and 1997. Among the groups with definite links to the ENIAC 50th Celebration are ACM, “The First Society in Computing,” the IEEE Computer Society and EDUCOM. The three groups have 300,000 members. A broad-based coalition of industry, profes- sional associations, academic and government organizations has been formed and will be led by the ENIAC 50th Celebration Committee, which will be led by Dr. Judith Rodin, President, University of Pennsylvania; James A. Unruh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Unisys Corporation and Chairman, Greater Philadelphia First, The Franklin Institute and Philadelphia Mayor Edward G. Rendell. The celebration will not only commemorate the first demonstration of the Electronic Numeri- cal Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) at Penn’s Moore School of Electrical Engineering in 1946, but also focus on the many different ways that computing will impact all aspects of daily life. “Technological change is impacting virtually every aspect of life around the globe,” Dr. Rodin said. “The celebration will provide opportunities for academics, students, business leaders and Philadelphia visitors to stimulate new ideas about how computers can and should change our lives in the 21st century.” Among the key events and exhibits of the “Year of Computing” are: A dinner on February 14, 1996, with lead- ers from throughout the world, honoring pioneers and builders from the computing field. In summer 1996, The Franklin Institute will open a new $7 million permanent exhibit, In- side Information, that will explain key scientific concepts of information technology and show how its extraordinary tools can make magic. Philadelphia tourist and government agencies are working to create a network of interactive, information kiosks—Philadelphia- By-Day, Philadelphia-By-Night—to debut this fall at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. ACM, “The First Society in Computing,” founded shortly after the unveiling of ENIAC, will also launch its 50th anniversary commemoration duringACM’s ComputingWeek ’96 conference to be held in conjunction with the ENIAC celebra- tion.ACM’s year-long celebration will commence with a retrospective on computing and ACM’s role in the early stages of the field and culminate in San Jose in March of 1997 with a prospective on the future of information technology. ACM, an 85,000-member association, will host special events and more than 75 conferences during the year that will recognize these mutual 50th an- niversaries throughout the world. Twenty-two conventions and trade shows related to information and computer technology will be held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in 1996-1997. Exhibitors and attendees will be invited to take part in “Year of Comput- ing” Programs. During the summer of 1996, Penn will recreate the famous Moore Summer School that, in 1946, brought from around the world, the scientists and engineers interested in computing and launched the computer age. For the 1995-1996 school year, The Franklin Institute and Unisys will install state-of- the-art equipment in selected elementary schools nationwide as part of a three-year, $6 million Science Learning Network (SLN) project funded by Unisys and the National Science Foundation. SLN is designed to encourage science teachers to use the Internet as an on-line educational resource in the classroom. —Office of News and Public Affairs 365 Days Until ENIAC’s 50th—and the City’s “Year of Computing” Starts To President’s Staff: Ms. Gilvear, Mr. Schutt, Mr. Hartman

From the extensive list of Trustee actions on appointments, reappointments, secondary appointments, leaves and terminations,Almanac gleans those actions reflecting movement into or within the Standing Faculty. These include new appointments andpromotions, and chair designations with or without promotion, in all schools. In the health schools, where reappointmentssometimes include movement from the associated faculty (not in standing faculty) to the clinician-educator track (standing fac-ulty, but not tenure-accruing), those actions are published. Note that clinician-educator titles are recognizable by the form oftitle, “Professor of at (affiliated institution).” The following list shows actions from Trustees minutes ofDecember 9, 1994 and January 20, 1995, representing actions approved at Provost’s Staff Conferences leading up to thosemeetings. Actions marked (*) involve additions to the tenured ranks through appointment, promotion, or conversion.
