Wireless Initiative Unveiled

President Janelle C. Ashley has announced that Worcester State College will begin an exciting, new wireless initiative that will vastly improve students’ technology skills and better prepare them for a competitive job market. The College is in the process of installing state-of-the-art wireless connectivity to the College’s computer system so that students will be able to work on their computers any where on campus, including their classrooms.

For phase one of the laptop initiative, the College will require all incoming, full-time (day) freshman of the Fall 2004 semester to own a laptop computer when they arrive on campus. These freshmen will be enrolled into “learning communities,” which means they will be assigned to the same small groups for three classes: Freshman Seminar, a writing course, and a class in their major or a general education course.
