During the 1990s, the University administration made the incorporation of modern technology in the classroom a top priority.
Indeed, a national trend in this regard emerged as steady improvements in technology specifically designed for educational

to bring technology into the classrooms on this campus.

capable of providing long-distance learning, computer integration, and multimedia effects. Ultimately, Olscamp Hall would
achieve this goal and currently is the centerpiece of classroom instruction on campus.
