At Sun, our vision is to eliminate the "Digital Divide" that prevents people from getting an education because they don't have access to the right technology. Bridging this divide will accelerate everyone’s ability to join the Participation Age, enabling us to learn, share, interact, and solve problems together.
To fulfill that vision, Sun's mission is to help customers build the Digital Campus, a unified campus network in which individuals can interact and collaborate—no matter where they are—in a seamless, secure, personalized environment for learning and achievement.
