Athena Retrospective Symposium - January 20, 1999</h1>

On January 20 we celebrated the 15th anniversary of the start of Project Athena with an all-day symposium.  The day served as a <a href="http://www.w3.org/People/Swick/1999-01/20-Athena/">reunion for staff who worked on  Athena</a> at some point since its start in 1983; a chance to look back at successes and disappointments; and an opportunity to look ahead to what the academic computing environment at MIT might be like five, ten, and even fifteen years from now.<p>

The day consisted of four panels, an introduction by Greg Jackson, former Director of Academic Computing at MIT, and a look back at the original vision and early history of Athena by Prof. Joel Moses.  Panelists included current and former Directors of Athena and of Academic Computing, MIT faculty and staff, and representatives from Athena's vendor partners.<p>

The panels discussed the following topics, which are listed with links to some short video excerpts of the discussions (more video links to follow as we continue to digitize them):
