Rosary College was founded on the pillars of love and truth fifty years before televisions appeared in the classroom; seventy years before the microprocessor and first Apple computer (sold in a kit); ninety years before the internet was used widely in higher education; and more than one hundred years before the invention of social networking technologies like Facebook and Twitter. Students in our freshman class have always lived in the time of the internet, and they now live in a time of ubiquitous access to computers. In this roundtable, we focus on the implications of educational technologies for Dominican’s core commitment to truth and love and to its identity as a relationship-centered institution.
