- Survey students once per year on how technology at EWC is supporting or hindering their education goals. Analyze and publish results.

In addition to informing better decisions at EWC, the comparative research and the survey data will help us write stronger grants for technology funding.

Meetings will encompass matters related to the purpose and will result in binding commitments by the college upon approval by the President.
