Lyon distributes laptops to new students

Brian Reese has spent months getting ready for college. He paid tuition, bought textbooks, gathered school supplies and even purchased items for his dorm room to give it a "homey" feel.

But one thing the Idaho native didn't have to buy was a computer.

Reese was one of 140 new Lyon College students that received a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop computer Friday as part of the college's Lyon Experience program, which features laptops fully loaded with the software needed for Lyon instruction and extracurricular activities, an "experiential transcript" documenting student achievement outside the classroom and an endowed international studies program that provides two weeks of overseas travel, with students being responsible only for meals and incidentals.
