Project Summary

Improving Technology Services for Students

To align with WashU’s goals, Student Technology Services (STS) has expanded its support to all students, regardless of their residential status, effective July 1, 2025.

Previously, STS served residential students, while the Tech Den focused on graduate and non-residential students. This change ensures equitable access to technology resources for all students and supports university-wide efficiency initiatives by leveraging cost-effective, scalable solutions.

Additionally, the Tech Den has shifted its focus solely to student programming and enrichment activities, such as 3D Printing, DevSTAC, and Tech Bridge.

Why did this change occur?

This change standardizes operations, enhances efficiencies, and ensures consistent student experiences.
