The administrators at Baker said they are striving to keep up with the sophistication of this technological era while applying the best possible technological opportunities for students with the goals of the university. I feel that technology has to present the greatest possible reinforcement of these goals. Administrators and faculty work daily to maintain this goal but are faced with many challenges, making it more difficult and time-consuming. Each department has its own set of challenges to meet the rising technological emphasis in society. It has made communication quicker and more efficient, however it has shifted the focus of the office to a more service-oriented atmosphere.
Students seem to demand things quicker, making it challenging to keep up.
With the continuing challenges that administrators and faculty members face, where Baker stands comparative to other schools technologically is an important aspect for providing sufficient technological opportunities for students. Schools such as KU appear to be way ahead of us, but their educational goals are different. Administrators and faculty have the challenge of planning Baker's futureaccording to the technological and educational goals of the institution. It has been a long road for administrators to get Baker to where it is technologically. Not only can technology be seen as a priority of the institution by looking at the present, but also by looking at the complex technological process that has changed Baker.
