Southwestern College

The Southwestern College Connecting Minority Communities project will increase the technology access of students. Southwestern College will provide laptops and computers, broadband internet, and Wi-fi hotspots to students in need. In addition, Southwestern College will upgrade the Wi-fi connections at all of its four Higher Education Centers, including the National City, Otay Mesa, San Ysidro, and Crown Cove Aquatic Center campuses.

The Southwestern College project will improve the wireless network capability at all the Southwestern College Higher Education Centers and increase the technology access of in-need students. This project will result in an increase in semester-to-semester student retention and an increase in student completion (receiving an award and/or certificate) within a three-year period.

Students, faculty, and staff at Southwestern College's four Higher Education Centers in Chula Vista, California will benefit from this project. Students, faculty, and staff will have access to the internet for their studies and work. Additionally, Southwestern College will provide students with physical technology (laptops and computers); broadband internet; and Wi-fi hotspots over the two-year project period.
