Apple Creativity and Learning Lab, Opened 07.09.07

Senior Vice-President and President-elect Tracy Fitzsimmons realizes the importance of providing students and faculty with the necessary tools that enable self-reflection and the sharing of creativity with others. On July 9, 2007, an Apple technology lab was opened in Ruebush Hall, Room 111. SoundTree did the installation, has three highly qualified instructors on site (from July 9--July 20), and will return for faculty training in August 2007 before the start of classes. Dr. James Frankel, Dr. Lee Whitmore, and Brad Smith have been the instructors for the July 2007 teaching sessions for the Performing Arts Camp, the doctoral and masters studnts, and an open enrollment evening program.
