Pomona
College Named to PC Magazine’s 2007 Top 20 Wired
Colleges
|
 |
Pomona College has been named as one of the 2007 Top 20
Wired Colleges by PC Magazine, the leading technology
publication in the U.S., and The Princeton Review. The list
honors colleges with the most comprehensive—in terms of
size, scope and quality—computing and technology offerings.
The full list with profiles of the top wired campuses will
be available in PC Magazine’s issue 1 of 2007, on
newsstands December 26, and at go.pcmag.com/wiredcolleges
(scheduled to go live on 12/15).
Highlights of Pomona College’s technology include free
gigabit Ethernet access for all campus network connections
including the residence halls, ubiquitous wireless access to
the network, 24-hour computer labs, and a high percentage of
classrooms equipped with technology teaching stations. Many
faculty post course syllabi and readings on the Web, and
some courses have their own web pages. PC Magazine
also noted that an unusually high percentage of Pomona
students were using technology based on the number of
students who were on Facebook, had contributed to Wikipedia,
and other self-reported activity.
To identify the honorees, The Princeton Review surveyed
college administrators from the schools featured in the 2007
edition of the Princeton Review’s college guide, Best 361
Colleges. The criteria focused on three main areas of
technology: Academics, Student Resources, and
Infrastructure; and included questions on everything from
faculty computer training to streaming media from the
college's radio or television station to the types of tech
support available to students on a 24-7 basis.
"At the Princeton Review,” says Robert Franek, vice
president, “we know that finding the right-fit school for
college bound students is not a matter of brand name
recognition, but of quality of education and quality of
life. All the schools on our list offer superior access,
service, and infrastructure, and by doing so, they go above
and beyond to serve those very real student needs."
