The Alumni Office is engaged in activities designed to strengthen relations between UPRM and its graduates. This office supports and works in close coordination with the Alumni Association by encouraging membership, seeking donations, and organizing the annual homecoming. For additional information access the web site http://www.uprm.edu/egresados/.
An in-Campus accommodation for our athletes is provided through the University Enterprises Department. UPRM Athletes residence is located at Building A and provides our students with the following services and amenities: laundromat, vending machines, common-use kitchen and study area. The Campus Computer Center is part of the Chancellor’s Office. It is located on the first floor of the Luis Monzón Building. It operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year. It provides operator assistance 18 hours daily while serving the academic and administrative community in instruction and research. The principal academic and administrative computer facility consists of a HP Alpha and Sun Sparc Servers. The institutional network RUMNET (Recinto Universitario de Mayagüez Network) is the most valuable resource supported by the Center. With a strong fiber optic infrastructure interconnecting over 40 buildings throughout the campus, it is part of the Internet 2 project with an OC3 to connect UPRM to the outside world. The Computer Center also supports the most widely deployed wireless network for academic purposes in Puerto Rico. The UPRM Wireless Network covers more than seventy-five percent of the campus. The university community can access information resources, including Internet access wirelessly from anywhere, anytime. Computing services for the academic community are offered through the User Support Office of the Computer Center in the Monzón Building. Consulting and training services, preparation of user guides and manuals plus the operation of the public computer facilities, and computer equipment maintenance and repair services are provided. The use of computer facilities on campus is free of charge. The University covers the operational expenses of these facilities. Several academic departments operate their own computer laboratories. Some facilities have specialized hardware or software so their use is restricted to students who enroll in certain courses or who engage in research. Most departmental laboratories are open to the general campus population.
The Press Office is the link between the university community as well as local and international media. Press releases and articles regularly published in daily and weekly newspapers and internal publications such as “Cartelera Semanal,” “La Gaceta Colegial,” and the UPRM web page (www.uprm.edu), keep the general public informed of UPRM´s main events. Radio and T.V. announcements are also prepared by the Press Office. |
