UH MOLES 

 












In August, 1994, Hugh Walker (Physics),  Bernard Robin (Curriculum and Instruction), Dan Davison (Biochemistry), Howard Jares (Computing Center), Robert Miller (Curriculum and Instruction), and John Butler (Geosciences), all of whom were intrigued by the teaching and learning potential of the Internet,  met for lunch at an off-campus sandwich shop to swap information, ideas, and war stories.  We agreed that, unlike the Gopher protocol with its underlying structure, we were more like moles as we tunneled through cyberspace with seemingly random intersections.  This was the first meeting of the UH mole.



	In the past the UH Moles  met about two times per semester.  We are curious as to the need for such forums and will try meeting about twice a month to assess the interest level.


Meetings of the Moles

Until announced otherwise, all Mole Meetings will take place in room 327 of Farish Hall at Noon.  Sara McNeil and Bernard Robin have been kind enough to share some of their space with the campus community.  Food and drink are permitted but please clean up your litter.
