It is the advent of a new age in computing and it has arrived at Alfred State College. This innovation will place Alfred State squarely on the cutting edge of new technology. We're excited to be able to offer this new feature to our clientele. Dr. John M. Anderson, vice president for academic affairs, is also pleased to be able to offer this new initiative.
New technology continues to provide additional dimensions to the teaching-learning process.
Our goal in installing this new wireless infrastructure is to assure our students remain on the cutting edge of that technology which will assist them in carrying their learning skills into the future. The college has taken the guesswork out of purchasing a laptop by partnering with Compaq Computer Corp. to bring the most reliable and durable equipment available. The Compaq Armada laptops are guaranteed to work with the college's network, including the new wireless network access, and come bundled with software, including Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. This option offers the greatest flexibility in computing and network access. Wireless access will be available throughout the campus, including residence halls, student lounges, libraries, the student activities center, and most classrooms.
