Initiative Title | Expand impact of digital signage |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The Communications Office sees a need for additional TV monitors in certain high-traffic areas of the College. These monitors would help expand the visibility of announcements and other key information for students and employees. Certain locations, such as Harriman Hall, the Diana Center and Orange Hall are among the Middletown campus spots where monitors would be beneficial. Adding monitors to the Tower Building on the Newburgh campus would also provide additional awareness. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | The impact of the TV monitors on both campuses would remain at its current state. |

---|---|
|
Students and on-campus visitors in more buildings will see TV slides announcing events, student deadlines, etc. |
|
Information shown on the additional TV monitors will expand visibility of our messaging, and all internal messaging will be identical on all tv screens. This information will be very similar to event announcements and deadlines shared to external audiences. |

Although the committee supports fostering and increasing communication on campus, it feels that it would be beneficial to first assess the effectiveness of the current digital monitors already in place. The initiative, as submitted, does not clearly explain if expanding the existing digital monitors will be cost worthy. During the Initiative Open Forum, it was also mentioned that there may be better ways of getting this type of bulletin information to students by perhaps leveraging/utilizing mobile device communication. While the committee strongly supports improving and increasing communication with our student body, the committee feels this initiative needs some more development and research.
