Based on the workplan Felicia Sullivan and I created at the start of the year, here is what I was supposed to accomplish and here is waht I actually accomplished. between September 2000 and septemeber 2001.

- Filled all 10 positions.
- Retained (8) of (10) hires.
- All retained hires have performed well.
Conduct outreach to Umass - Lowell and Middlesex Community College to build student relations & recruit volunteers
- I spent a lot more time doing technical stuff than I had planned and did not follow up on several significant opportunities like getting placing work study students from Middlesex
- Getting sites to respond to volunteers in a timely manner was difficult at times.
- Students at UML and Middlesex tend to spend their leasure time working to pay rent and tuition bills
Work with Community Tech Coordinator to implement a WAN which initially connect 4 partner sites.
This goal was abandoned after some preliminary exploration. The benefits of the WAN did not justify the time required to create it.

- Ran (4) month MCSE class
- (4) of (9) students passed Microsoft exam 70-210 and are now Microsoft certified professionals.
- (2) Students are repeating the class.
Additional positive outcomes

- Lead team of volunteers to create nice 367 link web site.
- Served on committee that defined core goals of consortium.
