Dear Faculty and Staff,

The College aims to create a technology rich environment. Our investments in smart classrooms, computer labs, and, indeed, this Web site, ensure that we continue to meet the ever-changing demands of the digital age.

First and foremost, we do these things to ensure that students are prepared for the world of work. Regardless of their chosen field, students are expected to skillfully apply technology. The power of a Fisher College degree, in addition to a graduate's value in the marketplace, is directly correlated to these skills.

Just as important, the College wants to ensure that professional staff has the resources they need to provide outstanding learning opportunities. The College's tradition of academic excellence is attributable to each of you, and our institution will continue to ensure that your knowledge is optimized through the new delivery methods promised by technology.

As always, I welcome your comments on how we can better utilize technology in the classroom and as a way to communicate with each other and the wider community.

Very truly yours,

Dr. Thomas M. McGovern President
