State of My Board Projects

This week, I made a lot of progress on the necessary initial stages to my ambitious board projects. For anyone who is just now tuning in, I will list the 3 major projects I am taking on along side improving the quality of living for our students:

• Bring a free legal music downloading service to PITT
• Re-vamp of my.pitt.edu
• Text message service to check the current occupancy levels in the computer labs

President Link and I had a conference call with a representative from Ruckus on Friday, it went well. I also had a meeting with Joe Leinbach who was the last Board Member that tried to bring the service here. We discussed potential roadblocks, and what his problems and hang-ups were. Interesting enough, Ruckus has expanded their offering (since 2 years ago) to allow easier adoption of the service here.

While I can not disclose anything about the re-vamp of my.pitt.edu at this time, initial steps are being taken to determine the current effectiveness, efficiency, and usability of the portal. I look forward to working with CSSD to evaluate.

I will be pursuing the text messaging service in the coming month and my goal is to have it implemented by the time finals rolls around.

As always, all comments are welcome. Plus if anyone knows or has heard anything bad/good about the Ruckus music downloading service, by all means, come to my office hours, or call me!
