The recent Mobile refresh project was largely built on the extensive interface designs provided by Evelynne. She surveyed student employees across campus, attended events with students to get their feedback, and worked with various organizations to determine what was needed to provide a student-focused refresh. He efforts included editing out information that wasn't used to simply the experience and working into the design new features like the next-class display which provided immediately useful information on the main screen with one-click access to maps and the instructor's email.

This Shout Out goes to the mobile app refresh team in general. Nat, Stephen, Rebecca, Evelynn, and Paul. In addition, Ivan, Hugh, and Bernie were instrumental in improving the PeopleSoft connection and data integration. Every corner of the mobile app was touched by this project and it involved a lot of new research to solve user frustrations and new code to implement desired features. The app was completed early in order to meet the start of the Fall semester and avoid the production freeze.

Ryan J. and Alan Y. have done an outstanding job with the Summer equipment refresh and new installs for the Housing bedspaces program, completing the task ahead of schedule despite the demands of their daily operational duties.
