A retirement reception for Rick Golden, assistant CIO and director of networks and systems at Computing Services Network, is 3-5 p.m. June 19 in the East Union, Great Plains Room.
Golden has worked at UNL for more than 40 years. He started working part time in 1972 in the computer science department as an input/output clerk.
One of Golden’s top achievements is the establishment, design and on-going operation of Network Nebraska and the statewide TeleHealth Network. This network connects more than 97 percent of all K-12 schools in the state, more than 80 hospitals and more than 20 clinics. The network has saved UNL more than $7.8 million dollars annually in costs and provided increased bandwidth and capability.
