Richard C. McNeil from AT's Media Support Services department substituted for David Van Nest and presented at the annual Consortium of College and University Media Centers (CCUMC) conference in Cincinnati, OH in October.

The theme of this year's conference was "Rolling on the River." Below is a picture of a paddleboat that was seen during during the conference riverboat cruise. The blurry white steamcloud on top is a calliope which blared such hits as "America the Beautiful" that could be heard a mile away. At this conference Richard learned that VCU is a leader in classroom design and support as compared to the CCUMC member institutions.

A compressed version of the Powerpoint presentation Richard gave is attached. David VanNest is the primary author, with editorship and photography by
David Morefield and Richard McNeil.
