Wireless Internet access for students
Technology Support Services (TSS) is currently working on a wireless computing initiative that will provide students with wireless access in the library, Student Lounge and the PUB. Earlier this year, the idea was presented to the Student Technology Committee, and the students heartily endorsed it and funded the project with student technology fees. TSS is currently bringing access to the library, which will be the pilot site for the wireless access points. TSS anticipates the wireless sites will all be operational for students to use Winter Quarter 2004.

Reading role models needed
Washington Literacy's Day Care Link program is seeking caring, dedicated volunteers to read one-on-one with children ages 0-5. Day Care Link volunteers help young children develop the early literacy skills they need to be successful in kindergarten and as lifetime readers. Each volunteer spends one hour per week reading in a child care center to several children on a one-to-one basis.
Volunteers are needed in Northgate, Bellevue, Redmond, the Central District, Rainier Valley, Highland Park, Kent, the International District (Vietnamese and Spanish speakers needed there), and Beacon Hill (Spanish speakers needed). Reading slots are generally early-mid morning and late afternoon-early evening. A six-month commitment to the program is desirable.
