Twenty Years: EDUCAUSE and Higher Education IT
To commemorate the twentieth anniversary of EDUCAUSE, members reflect on the past, the future, and the intersection between the two in the higher education IT field.
On July 1, 1998, EDUCAUSE was created through a merger between CAUSE and Educom, with an original mission to advance higher education by promoting the intelligent use of information technology.1 To commemorate this anniversary, we hoped not only to review the monumental changes in the higher education IT field over the past two decades but also to glimpse into the future. And since we also wanted to share broader perspectives from across our community, we gave you — our members — a chance to reflect on the anniversary. We asked you four questions as a way to solicit your opinions about the past, the future, and the intersection between the two.
