Senate approves new computer for Student Bursar’s Office
Student Bursar Eugene Lee ’15 and her successor, Isabelle van de Walle ’17, had their request for a 27-inch Macintosh desktop computer for the Bursar’s Office, which would replace an inefficient Wellesley-provided computer, approved by Senate on Tuesday. The $1,899 cost will be subtracted from the Bursar’s Office’s emergency fund, the use of which was also approved by Senate last week.

The applica- tion, which is available on the HBS website, requires a short personal statement, resume and contact information. The deadline is May 15.
