At the University of the Incarnate Word, we balance a traditional educational approach
with the very latest technology. Our latest offering reflects this with the introduction
of our “Thinkpad University”. We understand it's a competitive world, that's why

state-of-the-art IBM Thinkpad computer. By the Fall of 2001, we intend to have a laptop
in every student’s & faculty member's hands. We believe that this technology is vital in
the interactive learning process and will better prepare all our students to take their
places in the world.
