Herbert Mudie, who served as project manager of Yale's Year 2000 Project, died suddenly on March 27 at his family's vacation home in New London, New Hampshire.
Mr. Mudie, who had once worked in Yale's Undergraduate Admissions Office, joined Yale in the spring of 1998 to manage the University's efforts to prepare for the "Y2K" rollover of computer-dependent systems and devices from 1999 to 2000.
"Herb Mudie helped quite literally to bring Yale into the new Millenium with his leadership of the Y2K project," said Vice President and University Secretary Linda K. Lorimer. "We are all the beneficiaries of his work, which will have a lasting impact on the University. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family."
"He was a well-respected organizer of our Y2K efforts within the Yale community, as well as the broader community, including New Haven and the state," said Nicholas Rawlings, director of technology and planning for Yale Information Technology Services.
Mr. Mudie, who lived in Guilford, is survived by his wife, Elizabeth, their four children, his parents, and a brother.
Having completed his work on Yale's Y2K Project, Mr. Mudie had recently left Yale to take a position with Apple Computer.
A funeral and burial were held in New Hampshire.
