secure technology (802.1x), which provides an encrypted connection
from mobile computing devices (laptop computers, hand-held devices,
smart-phones) through the airwaves to the University network. Wireless
connections to the Internet are available from the main level of
Moon library,
Several spaces in Illick Hall, and all of Marshall Hall for
