About Residential Computing
The Residential Computing program aims to enable students to make effective use of information technologies. With its commitment to four years of guaranteed undergraduate housing and its high percentage of housed graduate students, Stanford has a special opportunity to bring computing resources to a majority of students where they live. The residential computing program has undertaken, over the past decade, to take advantage of this opportunity.
Residential Computing coordinates with the Residential Education and Academic Computing organizations to provide a full spectrum of training, computing, and networking services to Stanford students.
- Mission
- The mission of the Residential Computing program is to enable students to make effective and efficient
use of information technologies in education. Central to the program is
the belief that such technologies are best provided in the residence halls
that serve as students' homes and are most effectively supported by
student staff who live in these residences. Input from students and
faculty as well as constant evaluation of high tech industry are the
driving forces of future planning. Continued...
