WI-FI: Adrian Aguirre, 22, and Patrica Rodriguez, 18, use the free Wi-fi in Danner Hall to check out their favorite websites. The free Wi-fi is also available in the Cunningham lounge, Locke lounge, and the Quad.

Delta College now has free wireless internet in several areas. The Associated Student Body Government worked with Delta College President Raul Rodriguez to sign an annual contract of $18,900 with AT&T and profits from the ASBG flea market have been alloted to provide this service to the main campus.

Adrian Aguirre, 22, found out about the free wireless internet two weeks ago. "I tried before, but they used to have a security thing on it," Aguirre said. "Now I bring my laptop every day. I use it for all my classes."

Current 'hot-spots' or wireless access points are Danner Hall, areas in the Quad, the Cunningham Student Lounge, and the Locke Student Lounge.

Three access points in the Goleman Library will be allocated as construction for the new Goleman Learning Center continues.
A likely spot would be in the Shima building, but due to asbestos and metal construction, additional work will be required.

To access the free Wi-fi, connect to "attwifi."

"[It's useful because] you don't have to go to the computer lab. You can just bring your laptop," Aguirre said.

This is something that is very beneficial to student activity on campus. It makes it convenient to work on your laptop on assignments and other errands without having to leave campus to a hotspot and come back. (Continued…)

Hello To All:
I am very thankful for the free 'wifi'. All of my classes are online and to be honest I miss going to campus. Now, I can get out of the house have lunch on campus and stay to do my course work, and maybe meet up with some classmates. (Continued…)

1) It is 'WiFi' rather than 'Wi-Fi."
2)If you'll be referring to an organization by an acronym or initialism, it is AP Style to provide that in brackets upon first reference. (Continued…)
