Recent technological issues have added to concerns of outdated and ineffective campus technology for many Wayne State College students. 

WSC senior Claire Jensen Krepel has had technology issues in campus buildings for the last four years.  

“It’s frustrating,” Krepel said. “It’s not updated. The technology is just old, and it doesn’t seem like the administrators of the college care enough, especially about Humanities, to fix it.” 

Krepel, a secondary English education major, spends most of her time in the Humanities, Benthack and Peterson Fine Arts buildings. She says that of these buildings, Humanities is in the worst technological condition.  

“Only one or two of the rooms have access to AirPlay, where you can connect straight from your laptop to the projector and to the screen,” Krepel said.   

Krepel also had questions regarding the equipment in the classroooms themselves. 

 “In my poetry workshop, the classroom still has a blackboard in it, which is nowhere else on campus,” Krepel said. “There’s also a giant package with another extra blackboard in it. There’re chalkboards!” 

Krepel is not the only one that has had issues this semester. Abby Collins, a freshman, has had issues with the college’s online bookstore and applications needed for her classes. 

“I have ordered a book. It was an online book for my piano class, and I ordered it the week before school started,” Collin said. “It is week like, five or six now, and I still have not gotten any information about it.” 

Collins, a vocal and instrumental music education major, is worried about her academics and performance in relation to her issues with techonology. She often finds herself without access to her textbook when taking quizzes online and questions the point of a book she cannot use.
