Students may have noticed some new technology while walking through Biddle Hall in the past few weeks.

The new television addition in the hallway may have caught some attention as students and faculty walk by.  This new addition can be both stimulating for students to look at and beneficial to their future endeavors.

This large new television is located in Biddle Hall across from the Business and Enterprise Division offices. Specifically, the television is located on the wall beside the Cook Family Idea Lab.

The television has a series of screens that display a variety of events and internship opportunities, and may soon include some job opportunities aimed toward business and communication students.

By watching the screen, students can see what internship and job opportunities are available. Then, the position can be matched with the corresponding information on the bulletin boards beside the television, including requirements for the internships or contact information.

“I think the TV is a good addition,” junior Jason Cuban said.

“It’s very large and draws attention to itself, which is important for awareness of these opportunities to be known.”

Cuban also said that he has plans to utilize the internship opportunities that the television could provide because he knows internships can impress potential employers in the future.

The television was previously in Krebs Hall, so there was no purchase necessary. The television is set up to sense when people walk by, and after about 10 minutes of no detected motion, the screen will shut off. The television serves a purpose to students while being energy efficient.

“Hopefully it lasts indefinitely; investigation of new technologies will take it to the next level,” marketing professor John McGrath said.

Some new technologies include the social media network Twitter. This idea involves students being able to search a particular hashtag to find the same opportunities presented by the television on their personal devices.

Marketing information systems and general management major Shaun Ocipa said he liked the addition of the television and the idea for its use; however, he had some suggestions for further improvement.

“Maybe make it obvious that the information found there can also be found online in a certain and exclusive location,” Ocipa said.
