New Tech Lab Modernizes Illini Chabad
From the Daily Illini:
Furnished with wooden, custom-made tables, a Macbook, two PCs, laptop stations and magnetic walls, a new tech lab is bringing Chabad at the University of Illinois into the 21st century.
“Every desk has an ethernet cable, a USB plug. We have high speed fiber optic internet. I was thinking 2017, what do students need,” said Rabbi Dovid Tiechtel, co-director at Illini Chabad.
There are three purposes to the tech lab. The lab is meant to encourage students to collaborate with each other, serve as a workspace, and provide career assistance. The tech lab will host one guest speaker a month to discuss entrepreneurship, leadership, resume building and job searching.
