Demand for Collaboration Stations Grow

We just had our first request from a group of med students to reserve time on one of our collaboration stations. It seems from 10 - 3, the stations are packed. Our door count is up 30% this year and we believe its the highly visible activity around the collaboration stations. We added a 5th and placed it on the 2nd floor. It is already being used.

The student evaluations just on the visible human have been exciting and gratifying. Everyday I walk through the lobby and the manipulation of the dissected human pulls them in like a magnet. We just created a spiral menu and installed a wireless card as we wait for dropped power and cables that will start the middle of July. I've grabbed a couple of resident orientation groups in the lobby and dragged them into see the rudimentary set-up and their jaws have dropped. In presenting the concept and reaction at the Deans meeting yesterday I was asked if there were "visible horse" software simultaneously by our Senior Vice-President of the Health Sciences and our Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine. We are looking into! Look for an upcoming answer. Have a great 4th.
