About
The Summerhill Series is an opportunity for K-Staters to dialogue with central information technology units about the technical aspects of the network, infrastructure, e-mail, and more.
History
The Summerhill Series is named after Rick Summerhill, who is the director of Network Research, Architecture, and Technologies for Internet2. Summerhill is responsible for the design of the new Internet2 network and other projects related to network research and the development of next-generation network architectures. Summerhill is considered by many to be the father of the data network at K-State. He was the architect of the first IP network in the 1970s, and would hold periodic open meetings to inform the campus community about progress as buildings and departments were added. This series is named after him to acknowledge his pioneering efforts at K-State.
