About the Person
Susan Adkins earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Arkansas in English with secondary school certification in 1977, and she went on to earn her Master of Business Administration in 1982. Adkins` interest in technology began in the College of Business, where her favorite courses were related to information systems, including programming languages like COBOL. When Adkins started working at IT Services (then Computing Services), she was one of six full-time members of the User Services team responsible for supporting faculty and students on the academic mainframe. Over time, the team supported technology as it evolved, including the first microcomputers that were precursors to current desktop computers, and eventually the Internet.
