The 2003 EDUCAUSE Southwest Regional Conference (formerly EduTex) is coming to Dallas February 19-21, 2003. This year's theme is "IT in Higher Education: Mobilizing the Mission." By attending this conference you can find new ways to learn, share ideas, and connect with others in your field and from your region. UNT is an EDUCAUSE member, so if you haven't registered yet, when you do, you should choose the "EDUCAUSE member" price. The Computing Center's own Sandy Burke will  present "Seeing the Forest and the Acorns in the Decision Tree" on Thursday, February 20, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m..
