Credit card, debit card, meal card, room key. These are just a few of the necessary items that sophomore Lindsey Scierka carried around everyday.
With her classes, tennis practice and late night internship, Scierka was always busy and running around. It's hard enough to keep track of these things when she is going from one thing to another.
This inconvenience is now taken care of and put on one card for the accommodation of not only students, but faculty and staff as well with the SHU Card Program.
The identification card that students have is now used for key access into dorms, laundry and dining hall payment. The card also has a new option where money can be deposited into a general account towards the bookstore and now at off campus participating vendors.
The SHU Card Program expanded to specific locations off campus on Monday, Feb. 18. This is a significant advancement for Sacred Heart because the card has made it easier for students (see page 4 for participating vendors).
"It's exciting- this is the first opportunity the Sacred Heart students have to go off campus and use their SHU cash to purchase items at the participating locations," said Denise Tiberio, Associate Dean of Students.
Robert Tullonge, Director of Academic Computing is in charge of this operation along with Mike Moylan, Director of Student Union and Bryan Palmer, Academic Computing Systems Manager. These three are in charge of the daily operations of the card program.
The program started originally within the student union, but the scope of the operation expanded so much that the Information Technology Department joined.
Larry Wielk, Dean of Students, Denise Tiberio, Associate Dean of Students, Mike Trimble, Vice President of Information Technology and the business office are also involved by overseeing the program.
"We are just making things easier for students," said Moylan.
The program has made steps towards a simpler lifestyle for students only having to use one card at multiple locations for different tasks.
