Wednesday, April 02, 2025 | 1:00PM–1:45PM ET | Room 554 AB
Session Type: Breakout Session
Delivery Format: Presentation/Panel Session
In a perfect world, we could inspire innovation and create digital equity for every student—regardless of family means—and fully equip them with the tools and opportunities to learn and lead in a digital world. That starts today. In this session, we will talk about the Bowdoin College groundbreaking Digital Excellence Commitment that provides every current student and all future students with a suite of the latest Apple technology. Students also gain access to a full range of course-specific software designed to advance learning, inspire innovative teaching, and create digital equity. Some highlights include strategies, lessons learned, transitioning away from computer labs, faculty adoption, Platform SSO, zero-touch deployment, device management, security, and the various tools used to make this a success. We look forward to sharing our story and helping you provide A New Hope for your students too.
