  2. Letter from Dr. Terry Braeburn My fellow student affairs administrators: Technology is fast becoming inescapable in the lives of our students, and McApple College has proven itself time and time again as a major competitor in the areas of progress and advancement. As a medium-sized institution in the Boston suburbs, MAC has a national reputation for technological innovation, and for that I commend you. As you know, President Grannysmith has declared this year as “The Year of the Personal Computer,” and I have personally charged Ms Corry, Ms Sarco, Ms Scott , and Ms Shouse to bring to your attention today the many ways in which MAC incorporates technology into the workings of our institution that we may better serve the ever-changing needs of our residential campus. They will also be reminding the committee of the foundations that our profession was built upon and how technology can be used to enhance our work with students. Dr. Zenobia Hikes, Vice President for Student Affairs at Virginia Tech, said that “The technological revolution is part of every college student’s life…from microwaves to Nintendo, gaming online to cell phones and hand-helds, everything has been driven around the technological revolution.” As we look to find better ways to do our jobs, serve our students, and sustain our mission, technology and innovation must always remain at the forefront. Yesterday’s foundations are vital in understanding tomorrow’s technology. Thank you for your commitment to the MAC mission, Dr. Terry Braeburn Vice President for Student Affairs McApple College
