SIF Experience

by ·0 Comment

             Can’t believe it has already been a semester since I’ve been a SIF. The time went by so fast. Well this experience just keeps getting better. I learn so much from working at the CURVE space and working on the SIF projects. The particular project I’m working on, SIF Outreach, allows me to really put my majors to use, something that I wasn’t able to do as much with my past jobs with GSU. I’m looking forward to continuing my journey as a SIF and see where it takes me. Even considering to try to get into another SIF project if possible and if my Spring schedule allows me to do so that is. I worked with the Marketing department prior to being a SIF, and when I received the offer, I had to choose between one. I was upset I have both job, but couldn’t have been more glad that I made the switch. It was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made especially since I can apply my major more as a SIF than being a Marketing University Assistant.

CURVE Video

          As mentioned in my prior posts, I am working on the SIF Outreach Project to try to promote the technology spaces found on the GSU campus. We are at the moment working on promoting the CURVE space as it is one of our newest additions. Babacar is in charge of filming for this project. After much research and talks with Joe, Thomas and I have found the most prominent software programs found at CURVE and ways to how they can be promoted on the InteractWall, 4K, and the different workstations. We plan to start filming some time next week. I’m really excited to see this project on its wheels, and can’t wait to see the final product and come up with ways to market it to the GSU students and faculty.

CURVE Space

by ·0 Comment

           So as the semester takes its toll, I would like to reflect on my first semester working at the CURVE. It is pretty chill for the most part, but it is still cool to see how the GSU students and faculty use the space. I’ve seen things from rendering on the InteractWall to mapping programs on the stations to people presenting information on the 4K. It is amazing to see how the space is used and I continue to learn new things about the space whether it is information on the Bloomberg Terminals or how to work the monitors for the InteractWall. I must say this is one of the best on-campus jobs at GSU. Prior to this, I worked in the Marketing Department, not saying it was horrible, but the CURVE has more resources that I can use towards my career. Learning more about technology at the CURVE lead me to add another major to my current Marketing major: CIS. Can’t wait to see where that takes me!

Uncovering the best video software

by ·0 Comment

                 Being a marketing major, I slowly started to gain an eye as to how to promote a certain product or service. I’m really excited to work on the SIF Outreach Project as it is a way to put my major to work. I want to see which is the best video software out there as a means to help more people know about CURVE. The idea is to have some sort of a video that will show pictures of the CURVE space with footage of all the cool things you can do in the space and explaining the features of the different kinds of technology with some sort of music or audio underlying it. I found out today while working at CURVE that this could be done in a software as simple as Microsoft PowerPoint, and then if needed it can be converted into a video file. Hopefully we can put this idea into play as it would be a great way to show and explain to students and faculty about the usage of CURVE. We could possibly post this on the GSU website or have a screening of it in Library North if possible as that is where most of the students and faculty visit when they come to the library. Looking forward to possibly turn this idea into reality and help students and faculty understand more about the cool new addition to our library called the CURVE.

Til next time,
