Southern University at New Orleans News SUNO expands technology resources through consortium partnership NEW ORLEANS, LA. - Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO) has expanded its technology resources through web-based upgrades worth more than $1 million with CampusEAI Consortium. The expansion allows the University to expand its intranet capabilities through myCampus software, which creates a campus portal and web content management system for higher education institutions. The portal service will be provided in phases. SUNO will be able to offer its students a portal to serve as a one-stop shop for their virtual needs. The first phase of services, which is expected to go live in July, will include campus email, Blackboard and a service desk. Other phases will range from a job hunt link to an iPhone application to library database integration. "I commend SUNO's Information Technology Center for facilitating this partnership with CampusEAI, and we are most appreciative of being awarded this worthwhile grant. This type of support enhances several of the strategic goals that SUNO strives hard to attain, and will greatly improve technology service offerings for our students," said Victor Ukpolo, Ph.D., the Chancellor of Southern University at New Orleans. The CampusEAI Consortium myCampus Portal Grants are designed to cover the costs of software, hardware and services associated with the implementation of a myCampus Portal solution, an intranet portal that integrates with online learning, administrative computing and student services systems. The Grant offering includes hardware, software, project management, installation and training costs in the form of a grant. SANDRA M.
