Dr. Bryan Carne was appointed BellSouth Distinguished Visiting Professor of Telecommunications and Information Systems at CBC in 1989. He was a Great Britain native and earned his doctorate in electrical engineering and an advanced management degree.
Brother Theodore Drahmann was president during the time of this photo. He presided over Christian Brothers College and Christian Brothers University from 1980 to 1993, serving 5 terms as president. During this time, CBC became CBU.
In 1985, Christian Brothers College publicized that Hensley, the chairman of the Memphis Metrotech Council, would be the new executive director of CBC’s telecommunications center. During his time, he and his work study students were recognized by the Director of the Pink Palace Family of Museums in Memphis for their work. Additionally, Hensley participated in international conferences throughout the 1990s, including China, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. He even participated in the Alliance of Universities for Democracy to establish Telecommerce Research Centers at selected Central and Eastern European universities, which helped Christian Brothers University secure a grant from the U.S State Department to fund these efforts. In 1993, Hensley hosted a workshop at CBU for European academics who said they would model their telecommerce centers after CBU while meeting the needs for their own universities. He was also named to the Committee to Study National Research and Education Network Issues under the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board of the National Research Council in Washington, D.C. that same year
