The Tech Bar is a student-facing service provided by the Learning Center designed to improve students’ confidence and success with the technology required for today’s learning environment. Technology plays an increasingly central role in academic life, and students often encounter barriers that hinder their ability to fully engage with coursework. The Tech Bar aims to reduce these frustrations by offering accessible, hands-on assistance with learning technology. Our mission is to empower students to navigate the evolving digital landscape so they can focus on learning rather than troubleshooting.
