and graphics to create customized presentations that can be broadcast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to all four of the full
color messaging display monitors in the Bowen-Thompson Student Union. These presentations are created locally at the Information
Center of the Bowen-Thompson Student Union, and then interspersed with up-to-the-minute information on national news, sports,
weather, and business.
Axis-TV monitors are located in the following areas of the Bowen-Thompson Student Union:
- Clock Tower Entrance Lobby
- First Floor South Entrance (Near Zza’s)
- First Floor Entrance (Near the Pub)
- Second Floor (Outside Movie theatre)
In addition, the Axis-TV system runs before movies that take place in the Union Theater on the weekends, so movie patrons
will see your message on the big screen before the movie begins.
