For over 20 years, the Student Technology Assistant in Residence (STAR) Program has promoted the appropriate use of technology in teaching and learning at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÔ¤²â. We do this by recruiting and training students who are proficient in the use of technology to support the most common technological needs of the campus community.
