The goal of the Student Technology Resource Center (STRC) is to ensure that all students at SCSU have access to a personal computer, network connectivity, and a basic level of software (e.g. communications, web browser, word processing, e-mail, etc). The STRC is a one-stop-shop for Southern students to learn the ins and outs of most popular office application software on a one-one basis. Think of it as a personalized Tutorial Center for technology. STRC offers a variety of services to students including basic email/web kiosks, graphics/multimedia stations, a dedicated teaching/instructional area, student technology tutoring, and a unique computer loan program for student who might otherwise be unable to afford a computer of their own.
