Student Union launches new Web site to connect with student body
The Student Union held a launch event for its Web site in the Shapiro Campus Center on Feb. 24. The event was attended by members of the Student Union and students. As of this printing the new Web site was not yet activated.According to the current Student Union Web site, the new Web site's goal is to enhance the Union's ability to connect with the student body. The web site encourages students to view various initiatives, programs, projects, and causes that the Union is facilitating.
The resources on the new Web site include an officer directory, announcements, course evaluation and information on Student Union elections, as well as increased resources for student clubs. The "start a club page" synthesizes all the essential information together to help students who are unfamiliar with the club-chartering process. A separate page is also dedicated to the process of clubs getting reimbursed through the new Student Union Management System for finances.
Students also can use the Web site to submit a request for storage space for their club or organization. Specifically, students will know when they can schedule the program, how much the program will cost, and what sound equipment will be available for the program.
Student Union President Andy Hogan '10 told the Justice that the updated Web site is easier to maintain and has a more professional layout.
