Lincoln University

The project is comprised of two activities. The first activity is to upgrade the broadband and IT capacity at Lincoln University. The infrastructure upgrade will provide high-speed connectivity in critical areas of the campus and greatly increasing the campus capacity and bandwidth to serve students and other university stakeholders. To increase IT capacity, the university will hire an Enterprise Technology Architect to ensure IT functionality and technical resource for campus community. The second activity will create a teaching and learning academy to promote a new and innovative digital education campus culture with pragmatic and state-of-the-art professional developmental opportunities for Lincoln University’s faculty, staff, and students. To continue to provide students with support, the university will loan laptops with high-speed internet connectivity to each incoming freshman.

As a result of implementing the proposed activities, Lincoln University will guarantee a stable, reliable, and fluid infrastructure to provide availability of the broadband network to campus to support a positive and functional learning environment. The hiring of additional IT personnel will enable the configuration, implementation, and maintenance of the latest technology solutions to meet the needs and business requirements of the campus community and other university stakeholders. The provision of personal devices to all first-year students will enhance learning outcomes and preparedness for the working field. The digital education workshop will also enhance digital literacy among students, staff, and faculty members.

Lincoln University’s Build and Continually Enhance Digital Capacity for Desired and Sustained Outcomes Project will serve all Lincoln University students and other university stakeholders. All freshmen will be provided with a personal device to support education needs and access. The on-campus infrastructure upgrade will increase digital broadband access to all students and university stakeholders. The Digital Educational workshops support the development of digital training and enhancement of digital literacy. Lincoln University is in Lincoln University, PA.
