Speaker:

Michael D. Sessa
President and CEO, PESC (Postsecondary Electronic Standards Council)

Summary:

PESC -- the Postsecondary Electronic Standards Council -- was founded in
1997 by 30 leading organizations (EDUCAUSE among them) to help
coordinate and support data-related projects in higher education and to
serve as a community-based standards-setting body. Since then, PESC and
its membership have focused primarily on standardizing student-related
data and on accessing and exchanging that data. With the establishment
of critically needed standards such as XML transcripts, slated for
adoption by more than half of the states, PESC continues to add to its
catalog. PESC's suite of existing standards (including admissions
application, education test score report, and financial aid) is
complemented by development of new standards in areas such as
recruitment and enrollment, academic e-portfolios, and many others. Join
PESC CEO Michael Sessa in a discussion about interoperability and about
future initiatives related to authentication, role-based authorization,
web services, and service-oriented architecture.
