Stop by Milne Library and look behind the glass of the CIT HelpDesk. There you will find two 3D printers hard at work
creating three-dimensional objects of all sorts. 3D printing is a process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file using a wide range of material like plastic, metal, and ceramics. A 3D printer lays down layer upon layer of material until the object is created.
You can design your own 3D objects using software on the Geneseo lab computers or find ready-to-print STL files on 3D community websites like thingiverse.com and youmagine.com. Many community members on these sites share their designs under a Creative Commons license, so you can use, alter, and print the designs.
The printing cost is based on the weight of the 3D object after it is printed. The cost is 4 cents per gram with a 50-cent service charge and there is a rainbow of colors to choose from.
Geneseo is running a new three-credit experimental course this semester entitled Intro to 3D Modeling and Printing.
To learn more about CIT’s 3D printing service, including how to submit an object for printing and to learn about the CIT Experimental Lab visit wiki.geneseo.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=105971950 .

This panel discussion may be of interest to those faculty members submitting the 2016 Online Instruction Curriculum Development Application sent by Dean Savi Iyer.
SUNY Geneseo began offering summer online courses in a limited way in 2008, and the program has grown steadily over years. In this panel discussion, Geneseo faculty members will share their experiences with what worked (as well as what didn’t work). This would be a good session to attend for those faculty members considering offering a new online course in Summer 2016.
Faculty members scheduled to participate in the discussion include:
Kurt Cylke (Sociology)
Jennifer Katz (Psychology)
Cynthia Klima (Languages and Literatures)
However, we encourage EVERYONE and anyone who has taught online to come and talk about your experiences. Please RSVP**.
**Note: rsvp’s are requested for attendance purposes only so we can ensure enough space and food for everyone. If you find that you are able to attend, but have not rsvp’d, you are more than welcome to do so.
We all get frustrated when we’re unable to connect wirelessly, wherever we are. Like it or not, we’re using more and more wireless devices to help manage our lives and information needs. CIT is working to make everyone’s experience as good as possible by monitoring usage and upgrading equipment to meet these needs. Did you know that in the space of a single year, users have nearly doubled the number of devices being used on the wireless network? That’s staggering.
CIT has recently reported that at least two students were snared by some recent phishing attempts. Not sure what phishing is all about? Check out what CIT has to say about it and how to deal with it.
