Claflin University

Claflin University's Connecting Minority Communities project will bridge both on-campus and near-campus broadband divides for Claflin University’s underserved students. By providing ubiquitous wireless broadband Internet access and a computer lending program, Claflin hopes to close the digital divide among its underserved students. In addition, the Digital Entrepreneurship Accelerator Program will allow Claflin University to fully leverage and maximize new investments in broadband and technology by expanding educational instruction and remote learning opportunities by building the digital and instructional capacity to deliver a web-based, asynchronous entrepreneurship training program.
