For the last 10 years, Goshen College has had a 15 seat Mac lab in UN 001 dedicated to the teaching of graphic design and video production classes.  This fall, that's going to change--for the better.  UN 004 will sport 24 20" iMacs that run both Mac OS X Leopard and Windows.  That means that classes that used to be limited to 15 students because of the limited number of Macs in UN 001, can now be offered to 24 students.  UN 001 will be closed for Fall 2008.  Congratulations go to Dan Stutzman, Paul Ortman and Kevin Gross for their work to make this innovative upgrade feasible!

It's official!  Goshen College is going to be on the statewide iLight academic network. The Indiana State Budget Agency recently approved funding for phase 2 of the iLight network last mile build-out.  Goshen College, because of our long-standing commitment to statewide networking efforts, is in the phase 2 cohort of schools connecting to iLight.  Other schools getting connected in phase 2 include: St. Josephs College, St. Mary of the Woods, St. Mary’s College, Holy Cross College, Butler University, Marian College, University of Indianapolis.

What's New?

Paper is so last century! Yet the path to college is still littered with it. This spring, however, GC is taking a major step towards eliminating a lot of the paper work for incoming freshmen.  What started as an online document tracking system developed into a full-fledged migration of paper forms to the web.  Using Caravel's powerful form builder and e-commerce tools, ITS's Theo Budiardja was able to convert most of GC's forms for new students into electronic form in record time. The wins are obvious--less paper, less postage, less hassle for students and staff.  Students can take care of most of their required steps in a single setting. Staff can see at a glance who still needs to finish what.  We hope it makes coming to GC an even easier choice.
