Goal 1. Improve communication with staff to create a more unified and efficient department

Goal 2. Provide proper signage for Residential Life offices

  • Better utilize Intercom for recognizing both student and professional staff
  • Review and assess Memphis for restructuring and more efficient storage

Goal 4. Effectively communicate with our students through use of technology

  • Identify ways to utilize blogs, IM, IC Peers, Facebook, WebCT, HOMER, websites, intercom, etc to improve communication with current and prospective students
