Narrative

This technology fee proposal is being requested for funding to install a digital display monitor for the benefit of students, staff and faculty.  The Office of Student Services on the John D. MacArthur (Jupiter) campus quite possibly serves every student that comes to campus in one form or fashion, as it was planned as a “one-stop” service center. In our suite we serve students needs with representatives in the areas of Academic Advisement, Career Services, Dean of Students, Financial Aid, Marketing & Enrollment Services, Registrar, and Students with Disabilities.

The entry area in Student Services often serves as the first face for information to most who are on campus. Having the digital display in this area will be that reminder to Students, staff, and faculty of the university’s upcoming events of interest and deadlines that will play a major role in the smooth processing of documentation necessary to maintain order.  This display will be that extra reminder to us all.  As the student/staff/faculty member is either coming through or awaiting assistance from a representative in either department, the display will be directly in their view and delivering the information on a consistent basis.  Dates for deadlines such as:  Application for Degree, Graduate School Fair’s, Assist Dean of Students on-campus office hours, Application for Financial Aid, and Advance registration of classes are just a few of the items that would scroll as reminders.

As our university becomes more tech savvy it would be to the best interest of our departments to be parallel partners in this environmental growth endeavor. We are often the first face for visitors looking to locate Lifelong Learning and the Hibel Museum on campus; the relationship with Scripps and Max Planck brings its host of new faces also.  FAU’s mission to provide access through Community Linkages and Educational Partnerships finds a wonderful home to the students, staff, and faculty (and community) on the John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter.
