Principal Investigator Profile - Vickie Bailey

By Kameron Kidd

This month’s principal investigator profile features Vickie Bailey. Since 2008, Ms. Bailey has worked with the Information and Media Networks Department which strives to provide solutions to campus wide communication problems and manages both the upkeep and improvement of UL-WiFi. However, her duties are not limited to computer networking. As she works very closely with all departments that have SMART, TEC, and video conferencing classrooms, her presence is felt throughout the campus. Ms. Bailey has experienced extreme success in writing STEP grants having been awarded over $500,000.00 toward the maintenance and upgrade of the school’s wireless network. Her most recently approved grant seeks the full deployment of wireless access points in Edith Garland Dupre Library. We sat down with Ms. Bailey to discuss the Information and Media Networks Department, STEP grant writing, and goals for the campus’s wireless connectivity.
