Digital Signage :: PIP System (SUNY Orange)

Digital Signage Print All

Initiative Title	Digital Signage
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	A campus-wide digital signage system would assist the College is communicating items of interest, event announcements, general announcements, emergency notifications and other messages to students on a real-time basis by using a system of flat screen (plasma or LCD) monitors located indoors around the Middletown and Newburgh campuses. In addition to being timely and current, this system would help alleviate the need for paper flyers, thereby reducing the paper usage at the College and eliminating large amounts of litter and trash on campus. This system could also be tied into the College event database, and would also support the College's Emergency Communication Plan by giving the College another real-time venue for distributing timely information about safety and security. This system would also support and enhance new communications initiatives currently in development (Student Grapevine, Grapevine and Student Services Communications Plan).
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	College personnel will continue to waste large amounts of paper creating paper fliers and other items they feel are necessary to communicate to students. There would also be lost opportunities for more efficient communication of events and news items to students and faculty.

Prioritization Notes

Level 4

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

Digital monitors would improve communication among the entire SUNY Orange community. Students, faculty, staff and administration will be able to exchange relevant timely information that will enhance safety, increase awareness of current events and activities at the college and foster a feeling of affiliation with the broad college community. Using a combination of modern technology, including: internet, text messaging, video and scrolling text you can immediately broadcast messages to every monitor in each campus building. This instant notification technology is the sustainable alternative to paper based communication, lowering cost and eliminating waste and is the current technology used by the student population.
