Student Projects and Initiatives

Occasionally, students approach me with schemes and ideas. They often don't have any kind of support on campus, though people may be interested. Most often, these ideas have some kind of web-based component. There are several people on campus who have responsibility for the website (not to mention the fact that each department is in charge of its own departmental site), so it's often unclear to these students what to do or to whom to turn.

• NSS - probably the director. This group is in charge of the server space and the 'back-end' components that keep our site running. This includes scripts, CMS platforms, etc.
• Communications - probably the web/new media people specifically, as they're responsible for the leading edge of the website that web visitors see. 
• Possibly a VP or Dean - these are the people that can make final decisions about what is really part of what we want to do here at school.
• Interested departments and programs - a project involving film would likely benefit from support from the film program. It seems this is where most projects may be pitched first.
