Faculty:History of the IAB at KU:KU Faculty participating on the IAB represent the Computer Science, Mathematics, and Psychology departments.
Dr. Oskars Rieksts, (2006-7 Chair of the Faculty Committee)
Bill Bateman, Chair of the Computer Science Department,
The concept of monitoring local industry needs to improve KU programs offerings was developed by Dr. Rieksts working with Randy Schaeffer, Bill Bateman, Dr. Fran Vasko and Cherry Mauk, all of the KU Math and Computer Science Department around 1993. The initial intention and focus of the IAB was to bring together members of IT departments of various industries in the locality of Kutztown with faculty to exchange ideas on current and future directions of IT.IAB meetings have historically been held once yearly, usually during the week of Thanksgiving. The typical meeting consists of a presentation by a keynote speaker followed by a panel discussion and an open interexchange of ideas on the presentation topic by IAB members.
