Mobile Computing Loan Program (MCLP)

Brief Description of Project:
The MCLP is a pilot project designed to enhance the UMD community's access to computer and network resources. This program provides equipment and support services for accessing the new UMD wireless network.

Impact on Campus:
A limited number of laptops, handheld devices, projectors, and the wireless local area network (WLAN) acquired (and installed) as part of this program represent a significant investment in equipment for use by faculty, staff and students possessing a valid UMass Pass.

Project Coordinators:
Peggy Dias (mdias@umassd.edu) and Catherine Fortier-Barnes (cfortier@umassd.edu)
