ResNet, Inc. is an international non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement and research of technology support, with a strong focus on educational and student technologies and their integration with the academic mission.

ResNet presents the Student Technology Conference annually, in mid-to-late June. Each year, a different higher education institution hosts the conference on their campus.

ResNet is primarily comprised of individuals from higher education institutions throughout North America. However, our community includes members from all across the world, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan, as well as representatives from college preparatory academies.

ResNet-L, a listserv previously hosted by the University of Notre Dame, has been moved to the resnetinc.org domain. The new home for the list, a Google Group, is stc@resnetinc.org (in this case, STC stands for Student Technology Collaboration). To ensure a smooth transition, the list also has an alias of resnet-l@resnetinc.org. Notre Dame will forward mail sent to the old listserv address, as well.

To join, visit https://groups.google.com/a/resnetinc.org/forum/#!forum/stc and subscribe to the group.

If you do not have a Google account but wish to join the group, please email loriann.higashi@resnetinc.org and you will be manually subscribed.

Some of the top trending discussions among our group recently have included print tracking/accounting systems, addressing compromised e-mail accounts, WiFi-only residence halls, antivirus software, student laptop ownership requirements, wireless access for guests on campus, and connecting Amazon Echo devices to the network.

The Student Technology Conference 2017 is coming!

The website for STC 2017 is up! Check it out at http://resnetstc.org/2017/. It will be held at Western Carolina University (WCU). The Professional Development Seminars (PDS) will be held on Monday, June 19, followed by the Opening Night Reception. Sessions end on Thursday, June 22, followed by the Closing Event. It is suggested that you plan your departure travel for Friday.

Be sure to keep an eye out for conference registration to open in early 2017.

The Student Technology Conference is held at a college or university, and most participants choose to stay on campus for maximum networking and learning opportunities. The event brings together administrators, technologists, and specialists who plan, implement, and support student technologies; these professionals represent over 150 colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, and abroad. Content at recent conferences has focused on collaboration between these living and learning environments, institutional academic offerings, varieties of support offered to students, and the future directions of technology and services. Many aspects of such services are addressed through case studies, topic presentations, focus group dialog, birds of a feather discussions, and vendor participation. The mix of participants and their experiences encourages attendees to share knowledge through presentations, panel discussions, roundtable conversations, and often simply through the casual and social atmosphere of the conference.
