U. of Missouri President Gives $1-Million for Virtual Meeting Rooms
The president of the University of Missouri system is donating $1-million to help finance a project to link students, professors, and administrators at the university’s four campuses by creating virtual conference rooms, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
The president, Gary Forsee, and his wife donated half of the $2-million needed to install the new high-definition Cisco TelePresence system, which officials expect will save time and money by reducing the number of trips taken between campuses. Mr. Forsee, a former chief executive of Sprint Nextel, became the system’s president last February. —David DeBolt
