Description:

On July 1, 1998, the Division of Social Sciences was folded intoa comprehensive School of Arts and Sciences under a new Dean, Dr.Ann H. Cohen, as part of a reorganization plan initiated by thenHunter College President David A. Caputo. Further detailsabout the new structure of Hunter College and the new schoolare available from the HunterCollege home page. In summer of 2002, former Dean of SocialSciences Judith Friedlanderbecame Acting Dean of School of Arts and Sciences.As the details of the new structure are still being worked out and theinternal organization of Hunter College may change yet again under nowPresident Jennifer Raab , thedepartments in the former Division of Social Sciences continue theirclose cooperation in computer related matters. To this purpose, a SocialScience Computing Committee (SSCC) was formed.The chair ofthis committee is Dr. Ann Henderson, Associate Dean for Research,Planning, and Facilities at the School of Arts Sciences. Itis coordinated by the Manager of the Social Science Computing Lab, Mr. Nick Trippel. MaxweberMaxweber is the Social Sciences Departmental Web Server for Hunter College.

Contact the ERes managerto obtain an ERes user account (for faculty only); students and visitorsdo not need an account to use the ERes system. Shell accounts onmaxweber are restricted to departmental web masters. The maxweber server is co-administered by OICIT (currently: Clarence Feng) and SSCC (currently:Manfred Kuechler).UrbanThis second server for the social sciences offers space forpersonal web page for both faculty and (graduate) students. This serveralso provides experimental space to test cgi-scripts and other featuresthat constitute some security risk. These features are not available onthe maxweber server to minimize the likelihood of service interruptionsand to maximize the availability of the ERes system. It went intoservice in October 1998 after the SSCC had developed usage policies andguidelines.This second server is administered by the manager of the SocialScience Computing Lab, Nick Trippel.LarryThis computer offers a facility to perform statisticalanalyses of very large data sets via remote access for faculty in thesocial sciences.This server is administered by the manager of the Social ScienceComputing Lab, Nick Trippel.DepartmentsFrom here, you can link to the home pages of the sevendepartments which comprised the Division of Social Sciences: Anthropology HomePage CurrentOpening HoursOther DivisionalProgramsThere are also several interdisciplinary programs,including Asian-American Studies, Latin American and Caribbean Studies,Jewish Social Studies, Environmental and Energy Policy Studies, andWomens' Studies.
