The shift to virtual learning necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic left many EWU students without the technology they require to continue their education. The Eastern Washington University Foundation and the university’s Student Care Team recognized the need and quickly utilized the Student Emergency Fund to purchase Chromebooks for such students.

Last week, the first 51 computers arrived and were distributed to students who requested them. Additional Chromebooks are on order and students who applied for one will be notified when they are available. As you can see in the photos below, member of the Student Care Team are thrilled to be able to help. We hope the photos put a smile on your face as well.
