UF 150th Anniversary Logo CNS Experiences More Staff Changes

Personnel changes continue at CNS. We welcome David Essex into the Front Office as secretary and Alex Brennan into Network Services. We've also had to say goodbye to Lin Baugher of Network Services and Carol Wucker in Accounting.

Lin Baugher Takes Job in Virginia
CNS Network Engineer Lin Baugher moved to Virginia for a job at Science Applications International Corporation. He will work as a consulting engineer there. According to Baugher's supervisor Dan Miller, his duties gradually changed during the four years he worked for Network Services. "He took real ownership over the UF wireless implementation project," Miller said. "We'll certainly miss his technical competence."

Alex Brennan Starts Position in Network Services
Alex Brennan started in late March as an Information Technology expert in Network Services. He will report to Marcus Morgan.

"I help manage, develop, and maintain the university's networking software. These systems include DNS, DHCP, NTP, Quality of Service, and Network Monitoring," Brennan said.

"The University of Florida has become a center of excellence in computer networking as well as in open-source software development and deployment. UF staff and students are continually visible leading cutting edge Internet communities and guiding emerging technologies," he said.

David Essex Joins Front Office
David Essex has moved from his part-time job in Operations into a fulltime position as receptionist in the Front Office. His duties include answering the telephone and basically being the "face" of CNS, the first person people see when they come to CNS.

"I really enjoy this kind of interaction with people. I live for customer service and cannot wait to talk with people, on both the phone and face-to-face," Essex said. He started in Operations in August 2002.
