Breuninger, Kim
After graduation from the University of Delaware in 1977 I began teaching. I have taught at every level from pre-K-graduate school. My primary content area was in the sciences including Biology, general science, anatomy and physiology, physical education and health. Following graduate school in exercise physiology I moved from the classroom and entered the rehabilitation field as director of exercise physiology and cardiac rehabilitation. My love of teaching called me back to the classroom but in the completely new field of educational technology. Although I loved my children I again grew frustrated with the speed at which instructional technology integration and the "learning sciences" was moving within the schools. As a result, I joined the Chester County Intermediate Unit as an Instructional Technology Specialist. My areas of expertise expanded to include the use of distance learning modes to enhance student learning. Our partnership with the MAGPI group at the University of Pennsylvania has enabled us to develop programs that reach to all corners of the world. I have presented at local, national and international conferences on the effective use of technology integration and future learning environments. I understand the constraints of our classroom environments, teacher responsibilities and appropriate use of technology to enhance learning and the necessity of building collaborative support at each level.

Greg received both his bachelor''s and master''s degrees in Computer Science from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville where he had the good fortune of working with Dr. Michael Thomason on his research in the area of pattern recognition. His first international trip was with Dr. Thomason in 1986 to work with Erik Granum and Jens Gregor in Aalborg, Denmark and to present his research at a conference on pattern recognition there. After graduating in 1988, he was most fortunate to have the chance to work with Homer Fisher and Bill Snyder - directing the University of Tennessee''s Office of Research Services until 1995 when he directed the new Center for International Networking. In 1998, he received the NSF grant for the High Performance International Internet Services project (HPIIS). Under HPIIS, a high-performance link with Russia was implemented, first as MirNet, and in a later more advanced version, as NaukaNet. NaukaNet established the primary high performance Internet network between the US and Russian S&E communities in 1999 and led to an effective consortium of collaborating US and Russian science, education, and networking organizations. He moved the project to Washington, DC (as part of the University of Illinois National Center for Supercomputing Applications) in 2001, and by December of that year the project realized its goal of routing S&E traffic from across the whole of both US and Russia. This work was extended, via GLORIAD, to China in 2004 where it connects science institutions and facilities across the whole of China - and then to Korea, Canada and Netherlands in 2005 and in 2007 to the five Nordic Countries of NORDUnet. The new GLORIAD project began at The University of Tennessee at the UT-ORNL Joint Institute for Computational Sciences in Oak Ridge in the fall of 2004. In April 2008, the GLORIAD-US team moved its offices once again to the campus of The University of Tennessee. Greg has also co-directed (with Natasha Bulashova) the US-Russian Civic Networking Program (funded by the Ford Foundation and the Eurasia Foundation) and directed several other US-Russia network Infrastructure and community development programs funded by such Organizations as NATO, US Department of State, Eurasia Foundation, Sun Microsystems and others.

Cowen, Scott
Scott S. Cowen is Tulane University's 14th President. He also holds joint appointments as the Seymour S. Goodman Memorial Professor of Business in Tulane's A.B. Freeman School of Business and Professor of Economics in the School of Liberal Arts. President Cowen came to Tulane in 1998 from Case Western Reserve University where he was a member of the faculty for 23 years and Dean and Albert J. Weatherhead III Professor of Management at its Weatherhead School of Management for 14 years. He is the author of four books and over 100 academic and professional articles, essays and reviews and is the recipient of several national awards and honors. Since his arrival in 1998, Tulane University has more than doubled its undergraduate applications, experienced all-time highs in student enrollment and quality, doubled the level of total private giving to the university and received a record level of research awards. The university has implemented a number of innovative academic and research program initiatives and significantly increased its community outreach. In recognition of these efforts, Newsweek magazine listed Tulane University as one of the "hottest" schools in the U.S. In June 2003 President Cowen invited his fellow university leaders to join together in a national effort to reform intercollegiate athletics and ensure that their sports programs are consistent with the values, missions and aspirations of their institutions. This effort included working to alter the Bowl Championship Series arrangement to minimize, if not eliminate, its adverse impact on Division I-A intercollegiate athletics, requesting that the NCAA adopt policies and procedures that support higher academic standards and asking the NCAA to reconsider the appropriateness and cost implications of Division I-A membership criteria. President Cowen has held several leadership positions in national academic and professional associations. He is a past board member of the American Council on Education, a past member of its Nominating Committee and Executive Committee and was Chair of the Planning Committee for its 2003 annual meeting. He is also a former board member of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, a former member of the NCAA board and its executive committee and past president of the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business. He is also a former chair of the Conference USA Board of Directors. Besides his achievements in the academic world, President Cowen also has extensive experience in business as a corporate director and consultant. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Newell Rubbermaid Inc., American Greetings Corporation, Jo-Ann Stores Inc. and Forest City Enterprises Inc. He has consulted with dozens of companies, from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies. In addition, he sits on several community boards, including the New Orleans Business Council, Committee For A Better New Orleans, Greater New Orleans Inc., and the Mayor's National Film Advisory Board. On March 17, 2005, President Cowen announced the public launch of "Promise and Distinction: The Campaign for Tulane." With a goal of raising $700 million by 2008, the campaign is the largest university fundraising effort in the history of Louisiana. In August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans, flooded half of Tulane's uptown campus and all of its downtown Health Sciences Center and dispersed its faculty and staff around the country for an entire semester. Under President Cowen's leadership the campus was repaired and a remarkable 87 percent of its students returned for classes in January of 2006. On December 8, 2005 the Board of Tulane approved President Cowen's Renewal Plan, a sweeping effort that strengthens and focuses the university's academic mission while strategically addressing its current and future operations in the post-Katrina era. In response to Katrina, New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin appointed President Cowen to the city's Bring New Orleans Back Commission and charged him with leading a committee to reform and rebuild the city's failing public school system. President Cowen has devoted his days and nights to these monumental tasks and has already had impressive results. As part of this effort, Tulane has chartered a K-12 school in New Orleans and created an Institute for Public Education Initiatives to support the transformation of public education in New Orleans. In addition, President Cowen also serves as a Commissioner of the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority, which plays a major role in the rebuilding of Orleans Parish in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
