South Texas College

South Texas College (STC)'s Connecting Minority Communities project will execute project activities based on four goals. (1) Connectivity and Enhancement of Fiber Optic Infrastructure. STC will upgrade fiber optic bandwidth connectivity between the Mid-Valley Campus, the Starr County Campus and STC's Information Technology Hub. (2) Analog to Digital. STC will upgrade existing classroom infrastructure and equipment increasing our digital classroom capacity from 15 to 38 at the Mid-Valley Campus and from 5 to 17 at the Starr County Campus. The new digital classrooms will enable our faculty and students' better access to curriculum in class and remotely. (3) Remote Access Devices. STC will increase the adoption of broadband internet services by expanding access to remote instruction and student support. It will do so by providing mobile gateway devices and student services for at least 400 students. (4) Virtual Desktop Interface. STC will expand instruction and remote learning opportunities for students by virtualizing specialized desktop software.
