From the time that the original iPad was released, people have been trying to make it a desktop / laptop replacement.  Other PC manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon, producing their own tablets, running both Windows and Android.  Ultimately, it was Microsoft that made the best inroads in the “PC killer” avenue, ironically with the Surface, until now.

The Catholic university where I work is making strides to be more inclusive in its views, and how it treats its students. The university offers several programs that not only acknowledge differences, but embrace them.

Several years ago, the university allowed a group of students, staff and faculty to come together to form the Rainbow Educators. This group works with organizations, departments and faculty to perform outreach and education on topics from understanding privilege to intersectionality to LGBTQ+ 101. Since its inception, the Rainbow Educator program has assembled around 20 presentations.
