DBL Gives UWDC a Technology Boost
A big thank you to the Denton Benefit League for helping us build our technology capacity with a grant to fund eight HP laptops. These laptops will replace ineffective, aging desktop computers to provide a much-needed technology upgrade while they afford a new level of mobility for our staff as we expand our reach to all of Denton County.
