Students are now able to print and copy documents from any building on campus due to the new printer fleet. The new printers on campus have introduced a new wave of printing access for students and faculty.
Although this accessibility is a significant improvement from the old system, students must remember to remain respectful when using university materials and use the printers wisely.
Students should recognize that everyone is sharing these printers now, so keeping them in prime condition and respecting the technology is crucial in keeping this new system of efficiency in effect.
Students may notice the new setup of these printers means they will often be sharing resources with faculty and staff on campus. Students must be respectful when printing on printers that belong to different departments. If a student needs to print a long paper or multiple copies of a document, they should consider printing at the library, which is meant primarily for students.
It is important to consider that teachers no longer have unlimited access to printers, as well as small, private offices to print off worksheets and readings for their classes, so students should remain considerate of how many materials they use. Teachers often need high volumes of paper and printer accessibility in order to keep their classes running smoothly. Students should take advantage of printers in the dorm buildings in an effort to keep the highly-populated areas open for teachers to get the resources they need.
By using these printers made exclusively available to students, the student body can help decrease traffic in other buildings, such as Walker Center.
The new printer update is a positive change that helps students have greater access to materials they need. Changes such as these are made possible by the student body actively expressing their desires for change on campus. Students’ voices have led to proposals on gender-inclusive housing, increased dietary options in the cafeteria and student involvement in the process for selecting a new police chief. If students see an area on campus that needs improvement, they should inform their SGA representative or university officials.
By staying kind and courteous, students will help keep our educational environment free from stress and unnecessary clutter. Remember, with great printer access, comes great responsibility.
