TicketLeap is Changing

Just a heads up for our UNIV-101 students, TicketLeap announced today that it is changing the design of some pages, one of which is checkout. If things look different next time you go to reserve a ticket, don’t panic. Checkout is now done on a single page, rather than the previous multi-step process. If you have problems with booking a ticket because of this change, let us know and we’ll pass it on to TicketLeap.

TechServ Announces New Acquisition of Storage Space

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PHILADELPHIA, PA-April 22, 2013-Drexel University TechServ today announced its latest space acquisition: a secure cabinet in the Main Building. This latest acquisition is thanks to the efforts of Adele Varenas from Drexel’s Information Resources and Technology Department, Mike Smith from Drexel Facilities, and Dr. Jan Biros, the Sr. Associate Vice Provost. “We’ve all seen the divide that exists between Drexel’s campus and areas just a few blocks away. Particularly with regards to access to technology. With this new space available to us, we can continue our ever expanding work in ‘Bridging the Digital Divide’ with even greater efficiency and community impact,” said Julian Kemmerer, President of TechServ. “This new space will likely allow us to increase our donation output even more than the 300 or so systems that we donated last year,” added Chris Flounders, TechServ’s Head of Donations. TechServ would like to thank all of the parties involved in this effect for their support of TechServ’s efforts to bridge the digital divide in Philadelphia.

Drexel University TechServ is a student organization of Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA, whose mission is to bridge the digital divide in Philadelphia through the refurbishment and donation of computer systems to non-profit organizations in the Greater Philadelphia Area.

  • April 15 – One opening
  • April 22 – One opening

Given how fast you lot appear to be at booking slots, please check with TicketLeap to confirm openings. April 15 especially is expected to be filled by the end of today (April 15).

Also, some reminders on policy (or for those of you just joining us, the short version):

  • If you cannot attend a meeting, you must notify us prior to the meeting. If you do not, we will email you asking you for an explanation. If you do not respond, you will loose all of your future bookings. There are zero exceptions to this policy.
  • You may book one – and only one – ticket per meeting.
  • If you wish to attend a meeting for UNIV-101 credit, you must sign up on TicketLeap. Simply joining CollegiateLink does not qualify you for UNIV-101 credit.
  • You are expected to bring your ticket to the meeting you wish to attend. Your ticket can be printed, saved to your mobile device, or added to Passbook. Please have your ticket ready for scanning at the door (this means not buried in your email somewhere).
  • As a reminder, your tickets are not attached to your confirmation email. You are only provided with a link to print them.
  • In the extremely rare event that there is an opening for a meeting at meeting time, you may register at the door, but you are strongly encouraged to pre-register.
