The new Page Family Marketing Center opened January 1, 2004 and features spaces to encourage student involvement in hands-on learning. Remodeled areas include a new reception area, secretarial work space, storage area, and a combined focus group/conference room. Cameras and microphones make it possible to project focus groups or presentations made in the room to other rooms in Gamble Hall. The technology equipped conference table comfortably seats 16.
Teams of up to five students may work on projects and practice presentations in any of the three student break-out study/meeting rooms, each equipped with a computer. A marketing student computer lab is equipped with nine computer stations featuring dual monitors. Teams of up to four students may comfortably work at each station. The lab is also equipped with a presenter's station and projection equipment.
This renovation of the Marketing Department was made possible by a generous gift from the Page family. The Page family was honored for this very generous gift at the grand opening event, held May 3, 2004. |
