The SIGUCCS board had a great meeting and then a wonderful time at her home for an evening reception. Bonnie graduated from Oakland University in 1966.
Phil Isensee
Phil Isensee is an electrical engineer by training, but never practiced it; instead, he began a career in higher education information technology at his alma mater, the University of Idaho, in 1970. During the ensuing 36 years he served Iowa State University, the University of California at San Francisco, Oregon State University, and retired from Oregon Health & Science University in 2007.
