YWCA technology lab
The ongoing effort to bring technology to the community around Rensselaer took another leap forward last week with the opening of the Community Technology Lab in the Troy-Cohoes YWCA. The lab includes nine computers donated by the city of Troy that will be used to teach classes on technology use.
One of the current goals of the new lab is the creation of an online resource directory to help women in the area find the help they need from social service groups. RPI interns will also be using the lab to create presentations that bring social-justice issues to light, such as hunger and violence against women.
NRB advisors
The Office of the First Year Experience is looking for student advisors for both Student Orientation and the Navigating Rensselaer and Beyond programs for incoming freshmen. Today is the last day to submit an application to be considered for the position.
The forms can be picked up in the First Year Experience office on the fourth floor of the Troy Building.
Moving off campus
The Office of the First Year Experience, in conjunction with various student and community groups, will be holding a few instructional sessions in the next month on living off campus.
They will include topics such as looking for an apartment, your rights as a tenant, and how to make the most of living off campus.
The event will be held on February 20, March 6, and March 20 at 8 pm in DCC 337 and will feature free pizza and soda in addition to a free tenant training manual.
