NEW (posted 5/8/09)
After many months of hard work, the Technology Plan Task Force has completed the development of the Technology Master Plan 2009-2014. The task force presented the Tech Plan to the College Planning Committee (CPC) on May 7, 2009. The Tech Plan “directs and provides a framework for technology acquisition and deployment campus wide.” It will guide our efforts for the next five years to provide our students and staff with the optimal technological resources and the necessary structures to support them.
Since technology is an integral part of almost everything we do at LBCC, the Tech Plan will also have an effect on your work, so the CPC is asking for your feedback on this important plan. This is your opportunity to voice any concerns or offer any suggestions you may have. Please review the following documents:
