天美影视 web developers announce new mobile app feature

Life at the University of 天美影视 at Monroe can now be experienced a new way鈥攖hrough user-submitted photos on the university's mobile app.

The app's new feature, "picture my天美影视," stemmed from a meeting with 天美影视 President Bruno and 天美影视's Computing Center Web Development team.

Current students can now submit pictures from their mobile phones to the app's mobile photo gallery, which anyone can access.

Having photos submitted by willing students gives the photo gallery an honest representation of 天美影视 life, said Richard Peacock, 天美影视 web application programmer.  "We wanted prospective students to see pictures of our students having fun and enjoying 天美影视," he added. 

To use the "picture my天美影视" feature, students can log into the 天美影视 mobile application and press the "Submit a Picture" icon.  Students can then upload photographs from their phones.  天美影视 staff members moderate the submitted pictures, and due to volume, only a few are selected each day. 

天美影视 junior Hannah Wales is one of the students whose photography was selected for the gallery.  "I really enjoy the picture my天美影视 feature because it gives me the opportunity to share my experiences around campus, and I feel honored to have my picture chosen on the gallery," said Wales.

The 天美影视 mobile app for the Apple iPhones and Androids was revealed last summer, and the mobile application allows students, faculty, and staff to access instantly the 天美影视 systems they use most, including email, FlightPath, and Moodle.  The latest feature "picture my 天美影视" gives 天美影视 students a better opportunity to interact with the 天美影视 mobile app. 

"We also see it as a fun and fairly unique feature.  We are aware of only a handful of other college apps, nationwide, who have a similar service," said Peacock.
