The networking plans include adding voice cables, data cables that offer 10 MBps switched ethernet and one video cable per residence hall room. The cabling will be available in 27 buildings and 12 apartment complexes.The decision has not been made concerning which buildings will receive the cabling first. The services will be implemented in phases because installation for 6,000 students is best achieved by spreading the project over two years.The idea is that the university will learn from experience during the first phase and apply the issues to the second phase. Funding for the first phase is already complete will $2.5 million already budgeted for the process. This year, students have struggled to get on e- mail from their residence hall rooms and some- times from other locations on campus. It is far past the time for upgrading services.

“Understanding Suicide” - The act of self destruction or suicide is little understood by many and is considered to be one of the most catastrophic of deaths. When a young person takes her or his own life it seems even more perplexing. This presentation will focus on the many myths, symptoms, and certain causes of suicide among college students, as well as the complications related to surviving such a tragedy.
