The University Information Technology Service now has TV
screens in buildings across campus. The
screens can be seen in the academic buildings as well as Murphy library and
Mitchell Hall.
The goal of the screens is to “improve the communication of
events on campus," says Dr. Mohamed Elhindi, the Assistant Vice Chancellor and
Chief Information Officer for the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse.
The events displayed on the screens will be updated regularly.
New posts will be added and old posts taken down promptly.
Campus events from various clubs, athletics, and CAB are set
to be posted already. Other events can be submitted for review at the Eagle
Help Desk in Wing Technology Center or the ITS webpage under “self service
ticket system.” Elhindi encourages campus clubs to submit
their events.
The screens run during the buildings’ regular hours of
operation. This means that the screens
do not run on the weekends or after class hours.
The funding for this project is taken from the general fund
and is part of UW-L’s priority to improve communication.
