CHARGERS CELEBRATE • 50 YEARS
Ray Pulaski ’73, ’78 M.S.
NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR, OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
A (nearly literally) lifelong Charger, Ray Pulaski joined the University’s Department of Information Technology in 1973 after earning his degree in computer science. His first role was as an administrator for the University’s server. At that time, the single server was located in the basement of the Gate House. Faculty would bring grades punched out on cards that were fed into the system.
Through Ray’s time at the University, he has seen the network installed from nothing, buildings interconnected via fiber optics, the IT department’s move to Echlin Hall (after it served as an AT&T hub location), terminals replaced by desktop computers, the birth of the internet, and the surge of wireless technology.
All the while Ray, a two-time graduate of the University, with a master’s degree in computer and information science, has consistently learned and adapted to evolving network technologies. He has always been available to the University, regardless of the day or hour, willing to take on any project, problem, or whenever needed.
Above all, his colleagues say Ray is faithfully committed to the university mission and best interests. And, they maintain, he’s the only one on campus who knows where everything is.
