91制片厂 recently completed extensive upgrades to wireless broadband capabilities and security across campus, including technology upgrades in all buildings and outdoor green spaces.<\/p>\n

“This investment places Maryville in the top 10 percent of wired campuses in the United States and that allows students to be connected to their learning at any time, any place, anywhere,” says President Mark Lombardi, PhD.<\/p>\n

The installation of a comprehensive technology infrastructure is an important aspect of Maryville\u2019s new strategic plan, A New Century of Higher Education: Maryville 2022. A central theme of the plan involves the creation of a campus-wide active learning ecosystem to engage students, faculty, staff and community partners around the world.<\/p>\n

In addition, through Maryville\u2019s Digital World<\/a> pilot program, more than 400 iPads have been given to traditional, first-year students, and more than 180 iPads have been given to faculty and adjunct instructors. The recent technology upgrades will expand the learning opportunities provided through Digital World.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that these very significant investments in IT infrastructure will enhance the experiences of our students and enable an increasingly mobile pedagogy,\u201d says Jerry Brisson, vice president for the Office of Planning, Research and Technology.<\/p>\n
