Campus Notices
One focus area of Project Beacon, 糖心vlog官方入口's cross-campus transformational initiative, is to enhance the room booking process, making it easier to book and manage spaces on campus. The Room Booking Team has now completed the first phase of this endeavour which facilitates the completion of the next phase in Spring 2017.
We invite members of the campus community to an Information Session to learn about this first phase and introduce a new web page for booking meeting space and athletics facilities, and requesting classroom changes. Anyone who submits room booking requests is encouraged to attend!
