A few weeks ago a new student resource website was launched at Sacred Heart. Campuslive.com is a website compiled of information directed primarily towards students.
Jeff Cassidy is the co-founder of Campuslive. He has played a large role in the progression of the website since it was first launched at UMass two years ago.
"This is a one-stop home page for students looking for campus information. From restaurants and live Facebook feeds to campus events and news," said Cassidy.
At campuslive.com a student can register with their e-mail address and gain access to information specific to Sacred Heart.
The homepage has links to all the school's web pages including the academic calendar, directory, registrar's office, athletics, bookstore, and the library. It also contains current news from the Spectrum newspaper as well as upcoming campus events.
"The site is an all-encompassing tool for students. It has been a huge success and very popular among students thus far," said Cassidy.
Besides local university news, the site also has current news around the world from organizations like CNN, The New York Times, and ESPN.
"Staying on top of the current news and sports is important to me. Not just in and around school but around the world as well," said sophomore Paul Ruvo.
The homepage also contains one feature called the food finder. It is a feature that allows students to search for restaurants in their area whether it is delivery, take out, or dine in.
"I am always running short on time, an easier way to find food fast would definitely make things easier," said senior Michael Viscuso.
The site also has up to date weather conditions and links to all the popular search engines including Google and Yahoo.
Students can also access their Facebook homepages with the click of a button.
"When I am on the web, I spend a significant amount of my on Google and Facebook," said junior Kaileen Paiva.
