Latin music in Gallery Lounge

throughout the United States. They've
also opened for Latin jazz king Tito
Puente, guitarists John Scofield and
Stanley Jordan, as well as flutist Dave
Vallentin. And in 1989 Salsamba was
featured in a broadcast of National Public'
Radio's "American Jazz Radio Festival

Gautam Ray, the newly appointed
director of the School of Science,
Engineering and Technology at Penn
State Harrisburg, has an impressive list
of credentials, according to his resume.
After teaching at schools like Florida
International University and University
of Wisconsin Medical School, why Penn
State Harrisburg?
"I'm a Penn State graduate," Ray
said. "I like it here. That was a factor in
my coming here," he added.
"Penn State Harrisburg has a strong
engineering program - one of the best in
the nation," Ray said.
Ray said he wants to expand the
already strong graduate programs and he
wants to add two new degree programs.
‘When a new guy comes in, he has
to make some changes," Ray chuckled.
In the developmental stages are a
master's degree in computer science, and
a bachelor's degree in computer
technology, Ray announced.
"Since I have been involved in
industry and community, I feel that I can
do it,” Ray said, about the new
programs.
Ray said he is not working alone.
Fortunately, 1 have an excellent
staff," Ray said. "I believe that we
actually educate the students - we don't
train them. If we train them, they have
to be trained every time technology
changes. If they're educated well, they're
capable of teaching themselves. This is
valuable at any time," Ray added.
New technologies are always
changing, Ray said, adding that
engineers have to understand them.
"We can't simply sit quietly," Ray
said.
According to Ray, he prefers teaching
to working as an engineer.
As a professor, he can have the best
of both worlds, Ray said.
"I see myself as a faculty professor,

but I also get to do quality research.
Many industries sponsor professors to do
research," Ray said, adding "This way, I
have close contact with educators and
engineers.”
