The impressively designed infrastructure, located in the Jane P. Batten Student Center next to the Office of Administration and Finance (Room 22), is an innovative workspace with a 60” interactive wall display, Solstice Pod collaborative system, Skype-ready technology and a Kapp Intelligent Whiteboard. Faculty interested in engaging their students in these technologies and others can book the space for use with their classes or for webinars, collaborative meetings and events.
The Center for INTEL’s mission is to provide leadership and support for new academic initiatives and faculty development that promotes VWC’s strategic institutional commitments to students' intellectual inquiry, active learning and civic engagement. The new space was envisioned several years ago when the plan for INTEL was first launched. It now provides an environment that directly supports the priorities and actions articulated in the College’s strategic plan, VWC 2020: Pathway to Prominence.

Dr. Lisa Lyon Payne, Associate Professor of Communications
Dr. Kevin Kittredge, Professor of Chemistry
