Every dorm also has a big screen TV and new microwaves on every floor. Residence life area coordinator Dawn Wilson says the Daniels Hall lobby is also being renovated. That project includes new lighting, furniture, wall coverings and new carpet. Beginning this fall, UC students can turn their student IDs into a debit card to pay for meal plans, laundry and vending machines in the residence halls and items at the bookstores. The debit card will be called the Bearcat Campus Card, and it works in a similar fashion to bank debit cards.
Students fill out a registration and deposit money at bookstore locations.
The convenience means students won't have to carry so much cash or scramble to find change for laundry and snack machines. The first day of classes at UC will also be the first day of job hunting for seniors graduating in spring 2001. In addition to getting linked up with corporate recruiters, students will enjoy a variety of games. More information is at the Career Development web site.
