New Technology on Hand

York College is launching a new initiative in August that will see the power of the internet and technology at the fingertips of every student taking twelve or more hours. "Every full time student that goes through the registration line in the fall will be handed an iPod touch," said Willie Sanchez, Director of Admissions.

After making the announcement to the student body in chapel, Sanchez and others from his staff were inundated with questions from current students about the iPods. "Everyone's excited about getting a free iPod and the programs that are being developed for their education," he said. "This will be a huge upgrade to how students get their information and the overall campus communication process."

"Of course they're all interested in the music and movies that are available at a few touches on the screen," commented Sanchez, "but this initiative really is about using today's technology in stepping up how we educate today's student."
