Name: Ron Brown
Title: Telecommunications Technician
Hometown: Chicago, III.
Tenure at Morehouse: 3 years
Something not commonly known about Ron: A
father of seven who retired after 29 years in the
U.S. Air Force, he once met President George
H.W. Bush while he was a USAF telecommuni
cations systems control superintendent.
am one of two people who maintain
the campus infrastructure for voice, data
(computer activities), imaging, as well as
cable TV - basically technology. What we do
is make sure you have it for your daily work.
We make things happen. We make things
work. We are the highway. Information
Technology is the traffic that rides over
the highway. We make sure the wiring is
connected so you can plug in to access the
information technology.
“Every day is a new challenge because
some things may be broken, something new
is happening on campus and we have to be
intricately involved to make sure it is all con
nected so we can be sure technology hap
pens in those operations
“It’s a considerable challenge in time, ma
terial and resources. Again, there are only
two of us on campus, so when a major proj
ect happens on campus, or there’s a new
building online like the Arts Center or the
new parking deck and you have offices that
go in those places, you have infrastructure
that needs to be in place.
“But I love it. It’s always a challenge. It’s
always something new. It is one of those
things where you get paid to make decisions
to make things happen. We maintain a
switch here in Gloster Hall and data activi
ties are maintained in Sale Hall. The road
map between buildings has to connect un
derground in various places so we can make
sure you have connectivity when you pick up
your phone. I love it.” ■
