protocol 80 principals win award
The award was presented last week as part of activities surrounding Entrepreneurship Week.

protocol 80 on the Radio
We also had 3 of our clients involved with the discussion:
- Kevin Gaffney, Manager of Internet Systems at Zippo Manufacturing Company
- Dr. Kimberly Young, Psychologist and Director of the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery
- Dr. Bridgett Passaur, Director of Auxiliary Services at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford
