CSD Virtual Learning Center (VLC) Recognized as Laureate by the Computerworld Honors Program
The CSD Virtual Learning Center (VLC) and New Links to New
Learning (NLNL) have been recognized as a Laureate by the annual
Computerworld Honors Program. The VLC staff was contacted in late
March by Polycom notifying them of the nomination, which honors
individuals and organizations who use information technology to
benefit society.
For twenty years, the Computerworld Honors Program, a multi-faceted
annual awards program has recognized IT professionals globally for
best practices that have been especially noteworthy. The CSD
Virtual Learning Center and New Links to New Learning began in 1998
and according to Ruth Litman-Block, director of the VLC, “We are
now one of the oldest videoconferencing programs in the country. It
is very exciting to receive the 2009 Laureate Medal, which is a
true credit to our entire staff." Overall, 100 companies were
nominated from across the country and were evaluated to ensure they
meet Computerworld Honors Program standards.
Ruth Litman-Block will now attend the 2009 Laureate Medal and Gala Awards Ceremony on June 1 in Washington, D.C. to accept the award on behalf of the CSD Virtual Learning Center and New Links to New Learning.
