Computing studies to benefit from gift  -  By Susann Viafora

Binghamton University President Lois B. DeFleur expressed her gratitude for the Kunises’ generosity. “Their gift will assist talented and deserving students and faculty,” she said. “Also, it will enable the University to enhance the campus-wide computing network with top-of-the-line equipment. The timing of this gift is most fortuitous as we proceed through the various construction and renovation projects under way across campus.”
Kunis received his bachelor’s degree in history from Binghamton in 1973 and a master’s in economics from Tufts University in Massachusetts. After working with Digital Equipment Corp. as a senior software engineer from 1976-85, he moved to Boeing, where as the company’s chief networking engineer he designed and implemented a number of data/telephony networks for the U.S. Department of Defense and civilian agencies. He also designed and implemented NorthWest Net, the National Science Foundation’s regionalized computer network — the predecessor of the Internet in the Pacific Northwest.
Kunis
joined Cisco in 1990 and held various positions, overseeing the design and development, sales and marketing, and deployment and servicing of Cisco products. “I remember when Cisco was 14 people and a dog,” he said. “I find it amazing that many of the advances in Internetworking started out with rough ideas that were brought to life by a core group of people at Cisco.”
With 23,500 employees today, Cisco provides hardware, software and customer support to businesses, government agencies, telecommunications and Internet service providers, utilities and educational institutions. It is headquartered in San Jose, Calif., with more than 225 sales, support and production entities in 75 countries. It achieved revenues of $13.4 billion last year.
Kunis said Binghamton University gave him the fundamental tools for success.
“I don’t have a business degree,” said Kunis, who lives in Seattle. “My experience at SUNY really taught me how to think and analyze. I am very analytical and process-driven, and I trace that back to my days at school. I have been involved in the operation of multibillion-dollar entities that have demonstrated growth at 50 percent year over year and improving margins. They don’t teach that at the Harvard School of Business.”
Watson Dean Lyle Feisel said the Kunis gift will have a significant and important effect on Binghamton’s future. “The ability of computers to communicate with each other is probably the most important aspect of modern technology,” he said. “It has enabled an enormous explosion of human communication and information transfer that has had and will have a far-reaching effect on our economy and our culture.”
“It is vitally important that universities provide their students, faculty and staff with the best computer technology available,” agreed Thomas Kelly, Binghamton’s vice president for external affairs. “Gary Kunis’ vision as a business executive has brought him great success – and his vision for assisting Binghamton University will enhance many lives on this campus, too.”
Kunis said he foresees a time in the near future when all forms of electronic contact — e-mail, pagers, voice messagers, cell phones, beepers — will be packaged into one compact appliance. Internet access will be customer-friendly and customized for each user.
School-business partnerships are key to preparing students, Kunis said.
“If you look at technology, by the time something appears in a textbook and it’s taught at a university, it is very obsolete,” he said. “There are some things that don’t date themselves; accounting methodologies, for example, don’t suddenly turn stale like bananas in a grocery store. But business practices do.
“The way a university prepares you is by preparing you to think, to analyze and to make decisions off your analysis. It’s not a place that should be teaching you to do things by rote, because by the time it’s in print and it’s presented in a classroom, it’s yesterday’s news.”
