The Berglund Center at Pacific University facilitates both theoretical discussion and practical action relating to the impact of the Internet upon individuals and their communities worldwide. We study the effects of the Internet on the ways we work, communicate, teach, and learn. The Berglund Center for Internet Studies was endowed by a generous gift from Pacific University alumni Drs. Mary and James Berglund of La Jolla, California.

We are excited at the Berglund Center for Internet Studies to announce Girls Gather for Computer Science,
a 4-week long non-residential computer science camp for 7th and 8th grade girls that will begin in June 2011. Female instructors will engage campers with an original curriculum that emphasizes computational thinking within an active learning environment.
Each week of the camp will have a technology theme (game programming, robotics, health applications, forensics, etc.) and include one or two field trips to local companies such as Flying Rhinoceros, Intel, or Vernier Software and Technology.
This project is a partnership between Pacific University, Oregon Public Broadcasting, and the Berglund Center for Internet Studies. Supported by NSF grant number 0940545.
The Berglund Student Fellowship Award
is awarded to four students each year and is annually renewable. This is a unique
award for students with interest, experience and ability with the Internet,
electronic materials, or online applications. It is an opportunity for a student to
pursue research or projects on topics related to the internet which are of personal
interest to them.
This year the the Berglund Fellows are: Sophomores,
Gavin Brown, Justin Redona, Patrick Nako and our newest Freshman fellow, Matthew Yasuoka.
A congratulations to all of them for achieving the fellowship!
The Berglund Center for Internet Studies has chosen to
fund three research projects through the Berglund Fellowship 2011-12 Award. The
Berglund Fellowship Awards offers course release time to faculty allowing them time
to pursue an area of research relevant to the use of the Internet.
