Internet conference examines Harvard's digital identity - Alvin Powell, Harvard Gazette
...The two-day Internet and Society Conference 2002, "What is Harvard's Digital Identity?" drew faculty, administrators, and IT professionals from across the University to the Law School's Austin Hall. Sponsored by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, discussions featured Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers, Provost Steven Hyman, several deans, faculty, and key administrators. The conference touched on everything from Harvard's brand on the Internet to uses of the Internet both within and outside Harvard. Charles Ogletree, Jesse Climenko Professor of Law and conference co-chair, said that this year's conference, the fourth since 1996, would turn the focus inward where other conferences looked at such external issues as the impact the Internet would have on rich and poor. The internal focus would examine, through the lens of technology, Harvard's impact on the world and the world's view of Harvard.
