Professor Robert Fries has 35 years of teaching experience in higher education, with over two decades of making computer technology more accessible and understandable to the public.

Prior to coming to Anderson, he was the Associate Director of the Fels Planetarium in Philadelphia. In 2004, he received the Excellence in Teaching award at Anderson University. He retired from full-time service in 2008 and continues to teach astronomy at AU.

Previously, his post-graduate work included field work in Antarctica, where a mountain is named after him as a result of his research on the Aurora Australis (similar to the Northern Lights). The accompanying picture illustrates this awesome and dramatic natural phenomenon. This image has not be altered; the sky actually looks like this.

Close Windows
If you want an elegant and trouble-free computing experience, switch to Apple's Macintosh. No more constant virus threats and weekly security updates.  The Mac user interface is what Microsoft has tried to imitate for 20 years, but the widespread problems with Vista prove Microsoft still has not gotten it right.  Do you really expect Windows 7 to be different? Go with Mac, a true American original.  Read security expert Robert Jaques' comments here.
