At EDUCOM (now EDUCAUSE), Gilbert created and
led the Educational Uses of Information Technology (EUIT)
program and the EDUCOM Software Initiative (ESI) from 1985
through 1993. EUIT and ESI were volunteer programs involving
3,000+ campus and corporate officials, including 800+ voting
participants. Gilbert also launched EDUCOM's Corporate
Associates Program (1983-1993) promoting the active
corporate participation and support of over 100 companies.
Earlier (1984-1986), Gilbert developed and directed the
EDUCOM Computer Literacy Project, surveying and facilitating
the efforts of colleges and universities to help
non-specialists use computers.
Before EDUCOM, Gilbert was a management
consultant in philanthropy, advising corporations and
foundations in the area of education and technology. His
career began as a teacher and school administrator,
including teaching mathematics and science at every level
from K-12 at Princeton Day School, and teacher training in
Princeton University's Teacher Preparation Program.
Gilbert's undergraduate degree in Mathematics
was from Princeton University. He also earned an Ed. M. from
the Harvard Graduate School of Education and an M.B.A. from
the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
