W.E.B. DuBois Learning Center

Telecommunications Hub

History


——  CREATING GIANT STEPS TOGETHER  ——

The mission of the W.E.B. DuBois Learning Center's "Telecommunications Hub" is to establish "Satellite Centers" throughout the community to enable students, and other residents, to have access to current Information Age technology.

This will enable students to have the use of current software, within walking distance from their homes, that can assist them in writing papers, Internet research, and educational tutoring. Other community residents will have this same access.
