The ATC supports faculty as they explore and apply technology as a fundamental set of tools in the academic environment.

The ATC works to build active partnerships with faculty, staff, students, and others interested in the integration of technology and academic work. Recognizing that academic applications are not separable from the larger technological infrastructure, ATC is an inherent dimension of college-wide technology initiatives - seeking to highlight the beneficial relationships that can exist between technology and education.
