Student Tech Fee proposal comments taken until May 4

The Student Technology Fee (STF) Committee asks for student, faculty and staff comments on the STF Tech Initiatives proposals for the current academic year. Comments are due May 4.

The 12 proposals are available for review on the STF website. (From the STF home page—https://www.wwu.edu/stf/—click “STF Tech Initiatives” in sidebar, then “III. Submitted Tech Initiatives Proposals (AY 2018).”

For AY 2018, the portion of the Student Tech Fee fund earmarked for Tech Initiatives projects is approximately $130,000.

Please send your comments by May 4 to the STF Committee at diane.bateman@wwu.edu. This date has been extended from May 1.

Comments from the Western community are a valuable aspect of the STF Committee’s decision-making process. As state funding continues to shrink, it is crucial that we make wise decisions in spending this fee.

Since the Student Technology Fee began in 1996, the fee has provided students more than $14 million in technological resources and equipment to enhance their academic experience directly.
