As a result of Cabrini and Drexel University’s ITrelationship, Cabrini is now able to utilize technologies such as becoming a wireless campus, having high speed internet service and using an online course delivery system. One of the most impressive services that Cabrini offers is the campus wireless network Cabrini’s wireless network covers various areas such as Founders Hall, Widener Center, Dixon Center, the mansion, Holy Spirit Library, the new Science building, Woodcrest, New Residence building, the apartments and certain areas surrounding these buildings. Areas that are not included in the wireless network are Houses 1-6 and various outdoor areas on the campus. Although the houses are not wireless there are certain areas outside the houses with reception or you can use the standard ethernet jacks to hook your computer up to the internet.
The Cabrini wireless network is really ideal for laptop computers since users can make the most of the portability of the computer and use it on various areas of the campus. Laptop computers may cost a little more than your standard computer, but with a laptop the convenience and portability features are just the thing for a busy college student because you can access
I think that Cabrini going wireless is a major step forward for our campus. By becoming wireless we are showing that we can employ the same technologies that other major colleges and businesses use. Personally as a graphic design major, having wireless classrooms allows my fellow students and me to bring our laptops to class and do work on our own personal computers without worrying about saving our work to the H drive.
The wireless trend is growing, so having wireless ability on campus lets students and faculty become comfortable with the technology Other places that you can bring your laptop to and access their free wireless Internet are places such as Love Park and Barnes & Nobles. I recommend to anyone that has a laptop on campus to visit the ITR room and take a couple minutes to set up your wireless connection.
The first step in connecting your computer to the wireless network is to check if your computer is equipped with a wireless card. Many new laptops already come with one built in. You will also need to make sure that your wireless network card is compatible with Cabrini’s network. Then once you have the wireless card you will need to register it with Cabrini. The card needs to be registered to ensure that only Cabrini students and faculty are using the service. After those few simple steps, you will be ready to take your laptop almost anywhere on campus and access the world wide web.

Most people wake up each morning trying to recall the dreams they had the night before. In between trying to remember and analyze the dream, most people try to figure out why they had dreamt what they did. Are there hidden symbols or meanings behind what a person dreams about? Are there any events that took place that left the person wondering, “What if this really happened?” Myths, religion and psychology all try to interpret and understand the symbols in dreams.
An important book by Sigmund Freud is called “The Interpretation of Dreams.”
Dr. April Hansen, an assistant professor of psychology, has quite a few theories on dreams. She believes that dreams can be seen often times as a glimpse into what happens in a person’s life. Hansen believes if a person who often times remembers their dreams could for a month write them down, the person will begin to notice a pattern, a theme that revolves around the dreams a person encounters.
“Dreams are a mystery…” another person’s dream could symbolize a new sense of freedom or victory. remembering a dream, they immediately want to tell another person about the dream. This is called manifest content, when a person depicts to another person about their dream. Latent content is what dreams really mean.
It is very common for people to try to figure out why they dream about certain people, places or things. For example, when people dream about losing their teeth, it mostly symbolizes anxiety, but Hansen, advises that a lot of books and internet websites on dream symbols are not accurate, but rather an interpretation that changes from person to person.

Hansen said. She believes that most things that happen in dreams are hard to comprehend. This is because a lot of symbols can mean one thing in a certain book and in another book the same symbol can mean a completely different thing. The same idea follows for people. All people are different. Therefore, when one person dreams about a bird, it could easily mean the person is dreaming about a bird because the person has a pet bird, while a bird in
