National Campus Computing Project director named Mandel visiting professor

Kenneth C. Green, founding director of the Campus Computing Project-the largest continuing study of the role of information technology in American higher education-has joined Case Western Reserve University's Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences as a visiting professor.

Green will be engaged in a series of applied projects, including campus-wide assessment work focused on the Case Information Technology Services (ITS) Measures of Success project, which enables ITS to be proactive in understanding and meeting needs of the campus community. In addition, he will be working on supporting the assessment of instructional technology in social work graduate programs across the country and an educational access project to be conducted in conjunction with the Poverty Studies Center at the Mandel School.

Stokes fellow appointed by mayor to Cleveland municipal school board

Magda Gomez, a Louis Stokes Fellow in community development at the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, has been selected by Cleveland Mayor Jane Campbell for the final seat on the nine-member board of the Cleveland Municipal School District.

Last year, Gomez was awarded a Stokes Fellowship-which provides full-tuition scholarships and travel stipends to students already working in community development-in an intensive weekend program at the Mandel School designed to accommodate work schedules and foster leadership among African-Americans and Hispanics in the field of community development. The program, which is funded by Congress, was named in honor of former Congressman Louis Stokes, who also is a member of the Mandel School faculty.

Gomez, 37, serves as manager for safety and neighborhood outreach at the Ohio City Near West Development Corp. She graduated from the district's Lincoln-West High School.
