STATCOM?s history and current activities, information on how departments at other colleges and universities can get involved in their communities, and details of past projects were discussed. In addition, STATCOM demonstrated the resource materials they developed on service-oriented consulting and discussed the establishment of a nationwide "STATCOM Network".
