Like it or not, computers have become an integrated part of the college experience, and few, if any Obies now get through their four years without them. The public labs in Mudd and Stevenson grant students access to computers, but they are often crowded, making it hard to concentrate.
Most students prefer to study in the comfort and silence of their own rooms.
Formed last semester and with a charter currently pending, OCRP refurbishes old computers donated by faculty, staff, and alumni. Computers are donated in a multitude of conditions, from fully working to presumed dead. Those that can't be fixed are dissected for spare parts and used in other machines. We are also in need of spare parts, as many of our computers lack power cords, monitors, or keyboards.
