Lake Forest College and Kalamazoo College have undertaken a collaboration initiative to provide e-mail and help desk services on shared hardware located in a remote data center. Representatives from both schools will discuss the process for forming the collaboration and the benefits realized to date.
In January 2007, Temple University will open the TECH Center, the largest facility of its kind in the nation. Designed to meet student technology needs and encourage collaborative work, the 24-hour center will feature 640+ student workstations, multimedia breakout rooms, an extensive wireless lounge space, a help desk, faculty resources, and a cybercafé.
