The SMART Initiative, a collaboration between the Student Gov’t Association and the Office of Information Technology to provide computers from financialy needy students, has been a great success. To continue the good work of this project we are going to continue providing computers on a second pick up date in the Archive Room in the Adanti Student center from 10am to 5pm on September 23rd.

Exploring all the possibilities of information dissemination and opening lines of communication for the entire campus is always an important goal for the Student Government Association and with this ideal in mind we’ve created a Twitter account. We invite all members of the Southern community to follow us and interact with us.

SMART is a collaborative initiative offered by the Office of Information Technology (OIT), the Southern Connecticut State University Foundation (SCSUF) and the Student Government Association (SGA) . The initiative provides used and functional desktop computer systems available to eligible students, at no charge to the student. By launching SMART, Southern recognizes that accessibility to computer technology is an essential requirement in preparing students for academic success in the new millennium, and that some students do not have the financial means to purchase their own computers. The university, through the Office of Information Technology (OIT), hopes to allocate annually up to two hundred (200) surplus computers to the SMART initiative.
On September 16th recipients of these computers can go to the ballroom in the Adanti Student Center from 10:00am to 7:00pm to pick up their computers.
