iPhone need a boost? The class of 2013 has you covered
Plug in and go: Two free charging stations have been installed on campus, thanks to a gift from the Class of 2013. One is located in the Student Centre atrium (pictured) while another is in Mills Memorial Library. Each station is equipped with 10 charging lockers for cellphones and tablets.
The class of 2013’s gift to future generations of Marauders? Free juice.
For cellphones and tablets, that is.
Students in need of a quick charge for their devices can now take advantage of two cellphone charging stations on campus – one in the Student Centre atrium, the other in Mills Memorial Library.
Each station has 10 lockers (eight for cellphones and two for tablets) in which devices can be stored and locked using a pin code.
Users can return to their lockers later in the day to pick up their powered-up devices free of – ahem – charge.
The stations were made possible thanks to members of the class of 2013, who were asked to contribute to a project at the University.
“It’s hard to walk around campus without being impacted by the support of McMaster alumni,” says Chris Pickard, a member of the class of 2013 who now works for the University as an alumni officer. “To be able to contribute to the future student experience at Mac and join the legacy of giving really means a lot to me.”
McMaster’s Alumni Advancement team is looking for ideas for the class of 2014’s gift. Send your ideas to alumni@mcmaster.ca with the subject line “Grad Class Gift.”
