Located in Austin, Texas, a city known for its culture, music and vibrant atmosphere, St. Edward’s University’s IT department was tasked with helping the university come up with ideas to support its campus vibrancy initiative in order to grow a sense of community within its students. The department also wanted to showcase how technology could be used to support other disciplines –especially art.
St. Edward’s University is a 4,300-student, private Catholic university. At the time of the campus vibrancy initiative, the university had already been an Epson partner for more than five years. About 80 percent of its 120 classrooms and conference rooms are outfitted with Epson projectors. So when the campus vibrancy initiative was launched, Arellano and his colleague Tony Chavez, IT strategist and enterprise solutions architect, immediately thought of Epson because of its precision engineering and incredible brightness and accuracy.
