Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson is the Information Support Specialist in Academic Computing where she works with the Web Development group providing information design, navigation design, project management and content development. Kate received her M.Ed. in Counseling from the University of Maine/Orono, where she specialized in new theories of group leadership and collaboration. She is excited about the opportunity this class provides for integrating two areas of interest, how people work together (and how they can work together more productively) and using information technogy as a communication tool. When not in front of a computer, Kate can be found playing oboe in local orchestras or tending her gardens.

Fred Zinn

Fred Zinn is the Multimedia Applications Specialist in Academic Computing at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. His interest in visual design of human interfaces began at an early age when he and his brother would meticulously arrange the control panels on an endless series of cardboard time machines and transmorgrifiers. Since 1987 his work has involved information design: from teaching workshops in slide design at the University of Michigan to being the graphic designer at the original Internet service provider in Minnesota. In the real world he is an illustrator and cartoonist.
