The Wedge + SIUE Community Collaboration Lab: Digital Access in Alton (4th Floor, Classroom 402 (Enter the Wedge on Broadway - Check-In with Reception on 2nd Floor)
Information is power for students, adults and those who believe learning is a worthy lifelong pursuit, and the internet provides a valuable source of information with a few clicks of a button. This session explores how broadband access shapes daily life and opportunities in Alton. Join neighbors and local leaders to share stories, review local data, and identify ways to improve digital access for all. All voices welcome. No tech background needed.
"Access to the internet is no longer a luxury. It's a foundation for opportunity. When individuals and neighborhoods are connected, they're better positioned to access jobs, education, healthcare, and the networks that support thriving communities," said Connie Frey-Spurlock, Director, SIU Office for Community Engagement.
