Technological Integration

There is no area of the educational infrastructure that is untouched by the technological revolution. Everything from student learning and instructional uses, to strategic planning and financial management is directly influenced by technology. At Longwood, the integration of technology is pervasive.
  In the fall of 1998, Longwood was the first and only college in the Commonwealth to require all freshmen to have a laptop computer. This requirement and other initiatives are essential throughout the institution for continued integration:

  • The newly renovated Hiner Building, home of the School of Business and Economics, provides a state-of-the-art, technological learning environment
  • All campus residence hall rooms are connected to the Longwood network and the Internet
  • Longwood faculty have accelerated the implementation of technology within the learning process
Technology is no longer just a useful tool, but a connective link for the future. Longwood College was quick to adapt its mission to this dynamic evolution, by recognizing the important role that technology will play in The New Collegiate Experience.
