UCSC V-World Tour Update - Continued..

Orientation Center Beginnings

 

  The Interactive Cook House now has teleports to the outside map area and to the upstairs orientation library. These are in the form of blue signs next to the door. Visitors can walk up the stairs or teleport right up.
     
 

Four large walls of the Interactive Cook House are organized as "theme walls" which contain links to important UCSC online pages. They are organized non-linearly in an image-map fashion. At the very top of the stairs, visitors face the Online Admissions with links to Undergraduate admissions, graduate admissions, the Office of the Registrar, Course Catalog, Schedule of Classes, "The Navigator" campus handbook, Academic Calendar and Financial Aid.

 

   
  Photos of the colleges are along the shorter walls throughout the Interactive Cook House. Each photo links directly to the College Home Page it represents - College Eight, Cowell, Crown, Kresge, Merrill, Oakes, Porter, and Stevenson. Soon, these photos will be changed to three-screen slide shows with a number of different views of the campus.

 

   

 

In the second room of the Cook house, a theme wall for Academic Departments links to the home pages for UCSC's Graduate Studies, Humanities, School of Engineering, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and Arts divisions. The other wall links to Campus resources such as the BayTree Bookstore (with general, course books and UCSC publications), the UCSC Library web page (with McHenry Library, the Science Library and UC-wide Melvyl) and CATS Computer and Technology Services (with links to instructional computing labs, computer support center and academic courses online).

     
  Another wall contains Educational Opportunities and Support which links to the following pages: SOAR (student organization, advising & resources), EOP (Educational Opportunity Programs), Career Center, International Programs, The Disability Resource Center, Housing Services, STARS(transfer and reentry students services) and the Gateways Program. Please notice that when you mouse over a sign, a box with its description comes up. So visitors can read the wall even from across the room.
     
  And finally, a teleport from both inside and outside of the Interactive Cook House will take you to the large map of the campus (still to be inserted in the center tiled area). This will be easy to click onto the college of your choice and teleport right there. This section also contains links to home pages for The History of UCSC, Straight from the Students, Faculty Research Pages, Special Events, the Santa Cruz Community and UCSC At A Glance.
