Those students who qualify can join Pi Mu Epsilon, a national fraternity for mathematics students. Academically superior students are encouraged to enroll in individual special projects or in Honors Study. For access to computers, Longwood students enjoy some of the best opportunities available at any college or university. Information Technology has one lab equipped with Unix-based workstations and other labs with microcomputers.
New equipment is added regularly.
Students have access to the College's mainframe computer. All labs are networked and are open from early in the morning to late at night, at no charge to students. Many commercial software packages, such as spreadsheets, word processors, and database management programs, are available for student use in the Computer Center. Some students own their personal computers. You are certainly encouraged to bring a personal computer, but it is not required.
