Jeff Thomas gave a presentation on the RADAR app
for Residence Life and Campus Safety. |
Since the fall of 2010 the Department of Computer Science and the Office of Residence Life have been collaborating to create a more efficient way for resident assistants, Campus Safety officers, and hall directors to utilize student information and file reports. The insights and creativity of a student, Stephanie Valentine '11, made it happen. In her senior year, Valentine worked to create a wireless app that staff can utilize while working in the residence halls away from a desktop computer.
A class of computer software students developed a program, named RADAR (Resident Assistant Data Acquisition and Reports), which debuted with the start of this academic semester at move-in and has been performing beyond expectations ever since. Already, it has improved the response time of student concerns and issues by the Residence Life staff.
