Technology Master Plan (TMP) was reviewed in the Fall 2011 semester and updated by the
committee. The Final revised TMP will be posted on the website in May 2012
2. Wolfram-Mathematica installed on campus. This software is used in the Math program
to help students attain higher levels of proficiency. Faculty and staff can download the
software at home for personal use. Students get an activation key for a year. Workshops
will be provided through the STEM program.

emergency response system. Shared Governance has approved this project and IT will
implement it.

down the Calendar due to lack of faculty involvement in adding updated events. A

Committee and IT will plan training during campus 2012 Flex-Day so that faculty/staff
become better acquainted with the system.
