Making Education Compute
At a dinner Monday of some 35 leaders in education and philanthropy at the Upper West Side apartment of AUGUSTA KAPPNER, president of Bank Street College, Schools Chancellor HAROLD O. LEVY was seated between Ms. Kappner and ROBERT W. PITTMAN, president of America Online. The conversation among the three was broad but included Mr. Levy's desire to create an online training program for New York City teachers. Mr. Levy said he was very impressed with the possibility of video instruction on computer screens for teachers. Mr. Pittman said AOL was very interested in education (partly, he said, because educated consumers use computers). The three dining companions touched on what some at the event considered a dream team for teacher training: content provided by Bank Street, platform by AOL, customers care of the New York City Board of Education.
New Head for Dalton School
The Dalton School has found a new head of school within its own family: ELLEN STEIN, who will begin the job on July 1. Ms. Stein, who is already an associate head of school, is also a Dalton alumna -- the first to be named head of the school. Ms. Stein, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and received an M.B.A. from Columbia University, started as a teacher at the Brearley Lower School. She spent 15 years at Friends Seminary, as a Latin teacher, admissions director, development director and vice principal. At Dalton, she has also served as head of the elementary school. The school is still looking for a new director of its high school.
Butts Inaugurated at Old Westbury
After more than a year on campus, DR. CALVIN O. BUTTS III, left, was formally inaugurated as president of the State University of New York at Old Westbury on Saturday. Four SUNY trustees, NELSON A. ROCKEFELLER JR., EDWARD COX, RANDY A. DANIELS and EDWARD S. NELSON, joined nearly 100 other educational leaders and 70 students in an academic procession on the campus on Long Island. About 250 members of Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, where Dr. Butts is the pastor, also attended. A group of Old Westbury alumni and former professors gathered at a small symposium to discuss the college's history since its founding in 1968 as an experimental college.
CUNY Safety Director Named
The City University of New York has named WILLIAM G. BARRY, a former F.B.I. instructor, as the university's director of public safety. A 1974 graduate of CUNY's John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Mr. Barry served on the federal team that investigated the downing of T.W.A. Flight 800 in 1996. He succeeds JOSE A. ELIQUE, who resigned in May to take a similar post at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas.
