The Student Technology Fee (STF) Committee asking for student and employee comments

The Student Technology Fee (STF) Committee asks for student and employee comments on the STF Tech Initiatives proposals for the current academic year. Comments are due May 15.

Comments from the Western community are a valuable aspect of the STF Committee’s decision-making process. As state funding continues to pose challenges, it is crucial that we make wise decisions in spending this student fee. You may review the 15 proposals, which are posted on the STF website, here. Please send your comments by May 15 to the STF Committee at batemad@wwu.edu.

For AY 2020, the portion of the Student Tech Fee earmarked for Tech Initiatives projects is approximately $193,000.

Please note: Due to the temporary suspension of non-essential expenditures in April 2020, the STF committee is reviewing and prioritizing proposals for future potential funding consideration. We hope proposal funding might resume soon after mid-October 2020.

Since the Student Technology Fee began in 1996, the fee has provided students more than $16 million in technological resources and equipment to directly enhance their academic experience.
