For 70 fraternity and sorority volunteers, this past Saturday was a time to refresh their advising skills and get ready for the new academic year. Hosted at the Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) Campus Center, this regional training marked a unique five campus collaboration between Butler, DePauw, Indiana, IUPUI and Purdue universities. This opportunity allowed each campus to pull together resources and provide a strong event which focused on advising tips and strategies, utilizing online technologies, and a variety of hot topics. “The Area Advisor’s Training reenergized me for the volunteer work I do with my organization,” commented Stephanie Lee who volunteers as a sorority advisor at IUPUI. “It was great to meet other volunteers, share best practice information, and learn how we can be better advisors to our students.” The coordinating team representing each university was very pleased with the event and is currently exploring options for continuing and expanding future campus collaborations.   Tue, 11 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0400 http://life.iupui.edu/news/4015/Campus-Center-Computer-Access-for-IU-faculty-staff-and-students http://life.iupui.edu/news/4015/Campus-Center-Computer-Access-for-IU-faculty-staff-and-students There are computer terminals located on the Theater Level of the Campus Center for use by member of the IUPUI campus community.  There are also emails only stations available on floors 1 – 4.  Students and employees can use their university log-in information to access these terminals.  A limited number of print release stations are also available.  You must have a valid IUPUI Jag Tag to utilize printing services.

Network Access Accounts Campus Center Event Services clients with participants that will need internet access while on campus, do have the opportunity to establish Network Access Accounts for those individuals during the time period of the conference they will be attending.  Network Access Accounts provide temporary wireless access to the Internet those who need to access the Internet via their personal computers while on campus. The Network Access accounts must be setup in advance by working with the Campus Center Administrative Staff to have these accounts setup.  Network Access Accounts provide secure wireless access at IUPUI.  For security reasons, you cannot access the email protocols used by desktop email clients such as Outlook and Thunderbird with a Network Access account.
