Welcome back, students!

If you look closely, you’ll see that a couple of things have changed since last semester. The most visible change is in the pc labs on the 4th floor, where OTS installed all new computers and flat screen monitors. They also have plans to install 2 iMacs in the near future. Another change you’ll notice is that the downstairs copier room was converted to an office and a copier alcove.  We did keep the same number of copiers, however.
