I was invovled in the first teacher the teachers last year along with one of my collegues here at Aetna. The professors were very interested in expanding their mainframe courses and learning the details of the OS.

Yes to all of the above, and if they have trouble figuring out who to talk to, let me know and I'll get them in touch with the right people.
