My.Mercyhurst portal ready for fall term
By Ethan Magoc, Editor-in-Chief on Aug 18, 2010 10:39:04The large dry erase board hanging in Matt Engel’s ground-floor Preston Hall office helped bring Mercyhurst College’s internal communication up to speed this summer.
My.Mercyhurst portal: Mercyhurst College's newest online communication system is available for students, faculty and staff at this sign-on page.
The college’s web programmer used the board to organize how the new my.mercyhurst portal is structured. By mid-August, it was filled end-to-end in red marker with everything from coding language to web addresses to simple link titles such as “Bookstore.”
“All summer we’ve used that (board) to help figure out what will go where,” Engel said.
Slideshow: Green roof, entranceway and locker room projects
By Ethan Magoc, Editor-in-Chief on Aug 18, 2010 08:35:04Campus construction projects continue through the end of summer at Mercyhurst.
Concrete work is complete on the front entranceway and grass has been seeded near tree saplings. Sedges have been planted in flats atop Zurn Hall's green roof. And wooden panels have been erected near the basketball courts in the Rec Center, the next step in completing new locker rooms for the coming school year.
