Site Visits 
The Subcommittee on Technology offers a valuable service to its member schools. Per request, a team of technology professionals from the commission will spend a full day at your school to evaluate your technology program. Feedback centers around academic technology, network and security services, as well as budget and staffing. Each visit is customized to the needs of the school. To request a visit please contact BJ Daniels at [email protected]
