Cincinnati -- The University of Cincinnati opens its doors for
the 2000-2001 academic year Wednesday, Sept. 20, greeting the
largest freshman class in over ten years. First-year enrollment
is up 11.2 percent over last year with 5,087 freshman starting at
UC this fall.
The incoming class will also be the most technologically
advanced ever. First-year students in the College of Engineering
are required to have a laptop computer equipped for wireless
communication by the end of the academic year. That will allow
them to take full advantage of the college's new wireless
network.
The Office of Information Technologies is expanding wireless
service to other areas of campus as well, including the College
of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning, UC's main library
(Langsam Library), and the medical and law libraries.
Physically, the campus is also changing dramatically this year
with the fall opening of Campus Green, one of the largest green
space projects developed at UC and the construction of temporary
facilities for food, entertainment and student services.
