Start your day with campus 'Eye Openers'

Here's a new way to greet the day-with Eye Openers, a new World Wide Web page especially designed to provide the latest UD information to the campus community.

Eye Openers (http://www.udel. edu/PR/eyeopeners), maintained by the Office of Public Relations, is divided into three sections:

Mall Talk, which provides information on campus events and the latest news from across the campus;

Around the Columns, which offers information of use to the campus community on such topics as bus service, dining hall menus, library hours and campus maps; and

Around the World, which offers links to the latest national and international news, with connections to newspapers, weather and stock market information.

The site also includes links to sports and to the campus calendar.

Sheri Dean, staff assistant, who will handle the day-to-day preparation of the site, said, "We hope that Eye Openers will be the first stop each morning for members of the campus community. We will provide up-to-date, campus information, whether it be a weather update, construction-related detour or a crime alert. Eventually, we hope users will contact us through the e-mail address provided and submit information to consider for use in Eye Openers.

"Our objective is to have the new web page grow and develop a following," she said. "We intend to provide information that is both timely and important to the University community and other web users who will learn about the events, news and activities on our campus."

Artwork for the site was created by Barbara Broge, Information Technologies/media services.
