PORT ANTONIO, Portland; March 25, 2026
Students at the College of Agriculture, Science, and Education (CASE) in Portland are now benefiting from the donation of 28 new Dell computers with artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced monitors, giving them access to state-of-the-art technology to excel in an increasingly digital world.
The gift comes from the late philanthropist and long-time supporter of the institution, Denna Bogle, her family, and the Christ Church of Waltham, Massachusetts, USA, where she was a devoted member.
