NCSA to connect familes with loved ones in Iraq

released December 05, 2005

The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) will help local families connect with their loved ones who are serving at three locations in Iraq on Dec. 21. NCSA will host private, live 30-minute videoconferencing sessions in conjunction with the Freedom Calls Foundation, a non-profit organization that enables deployed soldiers to communicate with their families, free of charge. All sessions will be held at the NCSA Building at 1205 W. Clark, St., Urbana.

The three camps that are eligible to participate in the videoconferences are Camp Taji/Cooke (Army), Camp Al Asad (Air Force), and Camp Fallujah (Marines).

The deadline to sign up for the videoconferencing sessions was Sunday, Dec. 11. If you have any questions about the event, contact Nancy Komlanc, director of education and training for the Technology Research, Education, and Commercialization Center (TRECC), at 244-6572 or nkomlanc@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
