Visteon Helps Local Elementary Students Get Connected to Learning

    DETROIT, May 31 As a technology-driven company, Visteon
Corporation understands the importance of an educated workforce.  But the
company also understands that learning starts early in life.
    Through Visteon's "See the possibilities(TM)" Fund, the corporation helped
the students of Fairbanks Elementary School in Detroit by donating and
installing 32 computers, and helping network seven color printers.  An
11-member team of employees led the project from Visteon's Information
Technology Department.
    "This was truly a team effort," said Dave Bent, chief information officer,
Visteon Corporation.  "I think it says a lot that they took the initiative and
helped get these elementary students access to computers."
    Working with the school's principal, Faire Carter, team members, Bob
Segna, April Washnock, Stefan Blache, Tony Kolman, Dave Sugg, Marvin Taylor,
Scott Korobkin, JoJo Noceda, Ted Corly, Ted Miller and Jason Vardon donated
their time and computer networking expertise to help get 16 classrooms and a
handful of school offices connected to a variety of software programs and the
Internet.
    "The computers and printers will help propel our boys and girls into the
highly technical 21st century," said Carter.  "Because of Visteon's
generosity, we now have computers in every classroom enabling our students to
become computer literate.  We appreciate the relentless effort to secure
computers with CD-ROM drives to accommodate the software we had already
purchased."
