Oakland University students living in campus housing now are able to access the wireless local area network, which provides connectivity to the university computer system and the Internet.

Oakland is the first university in Michigan to have its entire residence hall community on a wireless system.

"Through the implementation of the wireless system, students are now able to access the world wide web, electronic mail, the Internet, discussion groups and other data resources," said Eleanor Reynolds, director of University Housing. "The implementation process was worth the time and effort, and the rewards of seeing students with their laptops connected to the Internet is very impressive."
