At the Center for Gravitational Wave Astronomy (CGWA) at the University of Texas-Brownsville (UTB), we are developing the first Arecibo Remote Command Center (ARCC). The ARCC will be a virtual control room where researchers and students will control the world’s largest single dish radio telescope at the Arecibo observatory. Web cams at Arecibo and digital projectors in the ARCC will provide students with a visually spectacular view of the instrument as they control it. Projections of instrument readouts and monitor screens will give controllers a virtual view of what is happening at Arecibo from the ARCC in Brownsville. Students and research scientists of all levels will be working together in teams to perform actual observations and data analysis. In this talk we describe the current implementation of the ARCC project, plans for student research, prototype projects conducted by students during summer of 2006, recent achievements and successes of student participants, and future plans for the establishment of the ARCC program as an ongoing enterprise.
