WC Ranks among Yahoo's "Most Wired"
Washington College was ranked 38th in the nation on Yahoo's Most Wired Colleges list. According to the elite list, widely considered the authoritative source for rating the best campus technology in the United States, Washington College was also rated number one in the state of Maryland.
Yahoo's list is determined by how colleges rate according to certain criteria important to students, including the technological capabilities that allow students to apply electronically, that offer Internet access in classrooms, that offer students more than 25MB of server disk space and that provide computer equipment or labs in a variety of buildings around the campus.
The list specifically cited the Washington College web site. Dramatically enhanced by web editor Ted Knight '97, the site includes online registration for alumni and campus events and online shopping carts for the bookstore. The College's first online giving page was added last spring. Yahoo specifically liked the online Mellon gallery, a place where students showcase digital projects. The gallery is supported by a Mellon grant, which is bringing technology into upper level courses.
