  research and development center at Carnegie
  Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
  (since 1984).
• Following the Morris worm incident, which brought
  10 percent of internet systems to a halt in
  November 1988, the U.S. Department of Defense
  charged the SEI with setting up a center to
  coordinate communication among experts during
  security emergencies and to help prevent future
  incidents. This center was named the CERT
  Coordination Center (CERT/CC).

Quote from Jesse Schell, CEO Schell Games,
Lecturer/Asst. Prof. at ETC (MSIN Class of 1993)

• The thing to understand about the INI is the
  opportunities it's going to give you. Yes, you're
  going to have world-class educational
  opportunities, you're going to be able to take
  the greatest classes from the greatest
  instructors, and you're going to be side-by-side,
  shoulder-to-shoulder with people who are going to
  go out and change the world. However, the main
  thing to understand is the freedom you're going
  to have to make the program be whatever you want
  it to be. Almost anything you can think of, you
  can make it happen at the INI if you want to."
