Postsecondary Electronic Standards Council

I was actually pretty pleased about the fact that when a colleague mentioned this group to me, I had never heard of them before. It meant to me that I have created sufficient distance with any ‘administrative computing’ past. The PESC seems to be the domain of registrars and student service (eg. financial aid) folks, but I thought I’d post it because you never know when one of your projects might need to be aware of this alternate universe. Mostly they seem focused on issues like how to ship student transcripts around, though an upcoming conference on the “State of e-Authentication in Higher Education” seemed slightly relevant. - SWL
