The Arts and Sciences College has worked in conjunction with University Information Technologies to install two digital signs for the College. Located in the lobby of the St. Augustine Center and the west lobby entrance of the Mendel Science Center, the purpose of these signs is to display University and College news, events, and other special announcements. Powered by the RISE Display Network software, the College can create announcements that can serve to further educate students, faculty, staff and visitors about the happenings within the College.
