Summary: I am writing on behalf of Attachmate, an international
software company headquartered in Seattle. As an active
member of the regional software community, we urge you to
take every possible step to preserve your outstanding
Computer Science program.
As you might already know, Attachmate has strong links to
Western's Computer Science program. Over the past decade,
we have employed more than fifty successful WWU graduates,
including Shaun Wolfe, former CEO and President of WRQ. We
have employed nearly twenty WWU interns, twelve of whom we
hired as full-time employees. Today, 10 percent of
Attachmate's global product development experts hold a
Computer Science degree from your university. Many of those
graduates work in our R&D office in Bellingham.
Attachmate cares about your rebasing decisions on several
levels. As a Washington State employer with a strong
presence in Whatcom County, we hope to see continued focus
on WWU's leadership in Computer Science. In order for our
state to cultivate its position as startup center and
attractive R&D location for out-of-state technology
