The screen is set up so that it is facing the hallway and can easily be seen by students.</p> <p>The information that appears on the electronic bulletin board is coordinated by Lawrence Nelson, the school&rsquo;s multimedia specialist. Information rotating on the screen includes a faculty directory, spring registration deadlines, the school&rsquo;s logo and the &ldquo;Jaguar Journal,&rdquo; which features recent faculty publications and presentations.</p> <p>Future plans include adding a &ldquo;Faculty Spotlight,&rdquo; which would highlight one of the school&rsquo;s faculty members; a letter from Rossow; and information about the Air Force ROTC Affiliate Program that UHV has with the University of Houston main campus. Nelson also plans to put a link to the information on the school&rsquo;s homepage (<a href="http://www.uhv.edu/education/">www.uhv.edu/education</a>) so that UHV education students who are not on campus also can view it.</p> <p>&ldquo;This is just one other way that we can effectively communicate with students,&rdquo; Nelson said.</p>
