Kenneth C. Green is the founder/director of The Campus Computing Project, the largest continuing study of the role of information technology in American colleges and universities. The project is widely cited by both campus officials and corporate executives as the definitive source for information about information technology issues affecting American higher education.

Green is also visiting scholar at School of Educational Studies of The Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California.

Green is the author/co-author or editor of a dozen books and published research reports and more than three dozen articles that have appeared in academic journals and professional publications. He is often quoted on higher education, information technology, and labor market issues in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and other print and broadcast media. DIGITAL TWEED, Green's monthly column on technology and higher education issues, now appears in Syllabus Magazine. He is also a regular contributor to The Greenstreet Gazette.

Dr. Green is an invited speaker at some two dozen academic conferences and professional meetings each year. Additionally, he was the co-executive producer and on-air host of the award-winning Ready2Net programs, a series of satellite broadcasts and Webcasts focused on the challenges and opportunities that information technology presents to American higher education (www.ready2net.net). He is also the co-creator and co-host for a new broadcast/Webcast series, Ahead of the Curve.

In October 2002, Green received the first EDUCAUSE Award for Leadership in Public Policy and Practice. The award cites his work in creating The Campus Computing Project and recognizes his "prominence in the arena of national and international technology agendas, and the linking of higher education to those agendas."
