  About CENIC

California's education and research communities leverage their 
networking resources under CENIC, the Corporation for Education Network 
Initiatives in California, in order to obtain cost-effective, 
high-bandwidth networking to support their missions and answer the needs 
of their faculty, staff, and students. CENIC designs, implements, and 
operates CalREN, the California Research and Education Network, a 
high-bandwidth, high-capacity Internet network specially designed to 
meet the unique requirements of these communities, and to which the vast 
majority of the state's K-20 educational institutions are connected. In 
order to facilitate collaboration in education and research, CENIC also 
provides connectivity to non-California institutions and industry 
research organizations with which CENIC's Associate researchers and 
educators are engaged.

CENIC is governed by its member institutions. Representatives from these 
institutions also donate expertise through their participation in 
various committees designed to ensure that CENIC is managed effectively 
and efficiently, and to support the continued evolution of the network 
as technology advances.
