Dear FHSU Students: (taken from letter from President Hammond)

FHSU has embodied the "high tech, high touch" philosophy for some time. In keeping with our high tech commitment, we are now making a transition to a mobile technology environment. This coming academic year, we will be building a robust wireless network that will support mobile computing use across campus.
