Web TemplatesCollege of Fine Arts faculty now have the ability to incorporate the look of the College of Fine Arts Web site into their own personal Web space. Visit our Web templates page to discover two fast and easy ways to freshen up your sites! Faculty ComputersORAT provides "loaner" computers for faculty use in their offices. Each April Faculty must request a computer for the following year, even if they wish to keep what is already in their offices. This assists us in assessing our inventory and our needs for the coming year. You will get a notice from the Director when it is time to fill out your computer loaner form. Faculty may check out laptops, projectors, digital cameras, and other equipment on a short term basis for presentations. Please check with for availability. You must sign a University equipment check-out form before using the equipment. We do not work on personally owned equipment. We are often asked, however, to advise people on computer purchases, and we are happy to do so. The fine folks at Techzone are also great information resources, and can order computers and equipment from some vendors. |
