The School of Accounting is
requesting funding for three surface pro tablets and accessories to aid in the
department’s ability to access student and academic information for admissions
presentations and advising purposes outside of the office. The tablets will
enable School of Accounting staff involved in university events, including open
houses and our departmental orientation for incoming graduate students, to more
effectively provide services and information outside of the traditional
advising setting while demonstrating use of the university’s online resources.
Students will be shown where and how to find information relating to program
requirements and frequently asked questions, enabling them to access this
information unassisted at any time of the day or night without waiting for a
response. The portability and convenience offered by tablet-aided advising will
also allow the SOA advisors and program staff to engage students in more informal
settings, including university and college events and meetings outside of the
office.
Additionally, the SOA has begun
developing admissions video tutorials (http://tinyurl.com/ozcusj6) and other supplemental materials for distribution to aid in our
advising and admissions initiatives. To further support these efforts and to
better enable the department to compose additional materials in the most cost
effective manner, we are requesting funding for Adobe Creative Suite software.
This software will allow us to support the university’s strategic plan calling for an increased focus on "brand" to contribute
to our national reputation for excellence. Many of our accounting scholars and
master’s students are incredibly successful, and our ability to communicate
these stories to “an increasingly eGlobal audience” boosts both the program’s
and the university’s reputation for excellence while simultaneously marketing
our program to interested applicants and providing advising information for our
current students (FAU strategic plan, pp. 4; 11-12).
