Ivy League technology and women entrepreneurs doing business on the Internet will be examined at the fall meeting of the President's Council of Cornell Women, an alumnae group, at the Palo Alto Sheraton Hotel Saturday, Oct. 23.

Technology at Cornell and Stanford universities will be examined in a panel session from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Panel participants will be Polley McClure, vice president for information and technology at Cornell; Ramman Khanna, Stanford's chief information officer; Sarah Thomas, the Carl A. Kroch University Librarian at Cornell; and Dan Huttenlocher, Cornell professor of computer science. The discussion will look at digital libraries and the way high-speed network connections are transforming education.

Cornell professor of computer science Eva Tardos will discuss high technology during the luncheon from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Tardos currently is conducting sabbatical research and study at the University of California at Berkeley, supported by a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship, to examine computing problems that arise in networks.

Four women entrepreneurs, all Cornell alumnae, will talk about "doing business at Internet speed" in a panel from 3 to 4:30 p.m. They include Katherine Glassey Edholm, founder and chief information officer of Brio Technology Inc., Palo Alto; Gretchen Knoell, managing partner of Knoell Inc., San Francisco; Linda Manaster, founder of Compucook, Bellevue, Washi.; and Karen Polansky, Nameable Notes, Carmichael, Calif.

The President's Council of Cornell Women (PCCW) was founded in 1990 by then-President Frank H.T. Rhodes to advance the involvement and leadership of women students, faculty, staff and alumnae within Cornell and throughout its many constituent communities. The group's activities include mentoring students and providing financial support for research by women faculty, a visiting professorship and women's athletics.
