Technology Innovation

In a global society, where ideas and even innovations move at the speed of light, technology literacy has joined reading, writing and critical thinking as a hallmark of a liberal education. Debra Ringold, Dean of the Atkinson Graduate School of Management, says, “Willamette must teach all of our students to be proficient users and critical evaluators of technology, now and in the future. Our University must be a place where the desire to innovate, the desire to develop technologies that enhance teaching, research and learning is encouraged. Of course, our graduates must understand today’s technology. More important is the development of their ability to learn, use and manage the technologies of tomorrow. We want our graduates to be influential participants in the technology decisions that profoundly affect today’s organizations.”

Willamette continues to need gifts that support technology on campus. If you are interested in helping us move to the next level with our technology resources, please contact us at development@willamette.edu or 866-777-8122.
