He added that another goal of the new system is for students to cut down on the cash that they are carrying on campus. Gray hopes that, in addition to these benefits, the new campus cards will be more aesthetically pleasing. Students have the option of getting their picture retaken in Slavin or keeping their old picture. Gray said that the entire pro-cess will take less than ten minutes. The new campus cards will be issued sometime in November according to Gray.
Many students support the implementation of the new card system.
I think it will be more convenient. Jodi DeAngelis '04 express-ed similar sentiments. If we had the new ID's, that wouldn't have happened. Although the plans for the distribution of the cards are not final, they will resemble that of the process used during freshman orientation, according to MacClellan. Students will report to Student Services on an assigned day to receive their new cards, and their former cards will be rendered inactive at that time.
