ITAS
Newsletter
ITAS
newsletter first appeared as a four-page stapled
A4 newsletter in July 1994. Mr Ang Keng Loo, who
was then acting director, wrote the first opening
message for it. And this happened just
a month before now-Director Mr Tan Dek Yam joined
TP!
Soon after
some time, ITAS NewsWeb was born in July 1995. The
name for the biannual issue was picked from
entries in a "Name our Newsletter"
Competition. A broadsheet with two pages only, the
issue was first distributed in Grange Road campus with
much excitement over the much-anticipated move to
Tampines.

Circulated
to staff, the newsletter was interspersed with articles on
trends in Information Technology. For instance, the
inaugural issue was about the use of CGI in education,
various projects undertaken by staff at ITAS, and industry
links.
Our investigation showed that
ITAS did produce newsletters of varying sizes over the years
at semestral intervals. However, the newsletter didn't
survive the split of ITAS into Schools of IT and Applied
Science in 2002. As we write this piece in February 2003, a complete web version is available at
http://www-it.tp.edu.sg under the heading "What's
Happening".
