dc.description	Presentation given by Zane Gray at 10:00am on Wednesday, March 6, 2013, at Oklahoma City University, Meinders School of Business. Zane Gray is the Data and Telecommunications Manager for the University of Oklahoma’s Norman Campus. He received his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma in 1996 . Before returning to the University of Oklahoma as a network engineer, he was employed as a civilian with the United States Air Force, and deployed computer networks throughout the United States. At the University of Oklahoma, he collaborates with a team of highly talented network associates, oversees the daily operations and maintenance of the campus computer network; charts the direction of a network design that supports tens of thousands of devices; interacts with other IT professionals, faculty, and students; and faces the day to day challenges of change with a smile. Outside of work, he spends quality time with his wife and nine children, and is putting to practice his experience with the Net Zero Energy Footprint initiative in hopes of making the world a better place for his grandchildren.	en_US
