ResTek is excited to introduce a new internship program this fall. Beginning with paid training, ResTek Interns join the team that assists 4,000 fellow on-campus residents in getting connected to the Internet when they move in for Fall quarter. The internship then continues throughout the academic year, with opportunities for learning more skills, taking on leadership, and priority consideration for ongoing, part-time positions with ResTek.

Residential Network ISP Change

Howard — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 08:38:22 +0000

On August 29, 2007 ResTek changed internet providers from Fibercloud to the Washington K-20 Education Network. K-20 is the provider used by the rest of campus, and now it is also used in the residence halls. However, the connection will not be shared between campus and the residence halls.

We hope that this change will positively impact your internet experience within the residence halls and, as always, we encourage you to give feedback.
