ALUMNUS DONATES TECHNOLOGY... In today’s educational landscape computers are common place and expected. Costs, however, of computers and other technology continue to be high and out of reach for small private institutions such as Markoma. This large hurdle has been recently overcome through the generosity of Markoma alumnus Joel Thomas. Joel, a 1982 graduate, is the Executive Vice President of Bluecurrent, which was formed in 1993 as an IT asset management company. The founders (brothers Joel, Shawn and Brian) identified an opportunity to help large corporations more efficiently manage their IT assets, and proceeded to sign up several Fortune 500 companies as clients. Today they run an internationally recognized company with offices in Austin, TX, Kent, WA, Baltimore, MD, Oklahoma City, OK, San Bernadino, CA, and one in the United Kingdom.
   Joel contacted the school and asked for our wish list of technology related products. “I didn’t know what to expect,” said Mike Brown, Public Relations coordinator for the school. “I asked him for everything I could think of that we didn’t have the monies to purchase.” Through Joel’s efforts, Markoma will soon have a computer lab in place for our students, along with six laptop computers for the school’s use. Other technology related items will be coming in the near future along with a technology assessment of our facilities and how best to integrate the computers into the classroom. “We want this to enhance the learning environment for the students and teachers in the classroom,” commented Principal Ryan Galdamez. Picking up the first installment of equipment the last week of March in OKC, was an eye-opening experience. The Bluecurrent 50,000 square foot warehouse was filled with isle after isle of racks nearly 40 feet high that contained various computer products. One could easily be enamored by the size and scope of Bluecurrent but Joel seems to have both feet firmly planted. “Some people just don’t get it. It’s not about money.” Joel humbly commented, “Life is about relationships; relationships with people and our God!” Joel credits God for the blessings he has received and appreciates the opportunity to give something back. Our many thanks go out to Joel for his vision and generosity. ...
