In 2009, Samsung Mobile installed 40 charging stations on nine U.S.college campuses including Texas Tech University, The University of Texas at Dallas, The University of Minnesota, Louisiana Tech, Mississippi State University, The University of Missouri, San Diego State University, The University of Maryland and The University of Colorado – Boulder. By the end of the 2010 spring semester, Samsung Mobile will have installed a total of 87 charging stations on 20 of the nation's largest college campuses. Samsung Mobile plans to install 100 additional charging stations on college campuses by the end of 2010. Overall, Samsung Mobile will have 187 charging stations in use across college campuses. "Samsung Mobile is excited to bring these new charging stations to some of the largest and highly recognized college campuses in the U.S. College students and faculty use their mobile devices more than ever before to stay connected," said Paul Golden, chief marketing officer of Samsung Mobile. "It's Samsung Mobile's goal to eventually have mobile charging stations in universities across the nation for students and faculty to take full advantage of the convenience and free power our charging stations provide." The on-campus events will feature Samsung Mobile's "Recharge Smarter with Samsung Mobile Photo Contest." The Facebook photo contest is designed for students to show Samsung Mobile how they choose to "recharge" themselves during the semester. To participate in the contest, students will log on to Samsung Mobile's Facebook page. Once they've registered to participate in the contest, they will receive a printable cutout of a Samsung Mobile charging station. Students are asked to document their personal methods of "recharging" by taking photos of themselves with the Samsung Mobile charging station cutout and posting them onto Facebook. Students who participate in the "recharge" photo contest have from April 17 to May 15 to upload their images to Samsung Mobile's Facebook page. Students will encourage friends, family and their peers to vote for them through email and by embedding the photo on their personal Facebook page. After the contest period ends, the student with the most votes will be the grand prize winner and will receive a seven-day getaway for two and 10 additional winners will win a brand new Samsung Mobile phone. Students and faculty can relax with live music, free massages, energy bars and refreshments. To support Samsung Mobile's March to a Million initiative to collect and recycle one million mobile phones in 2010, students will receive a free gift for every old mobile phone they donate to support the eco-friendly program. Samsung Mobile Charging Stations are outfitted with eight electrical outlets per station, allowing several people to re-charge their electronic devices at the same time for free. The stations are built to charge personal electronics designed for U.S. voltage (i.e., 120 volts) to charge mobile phones and other electronic equipment. The charging stations will be installed in student unions and at on-campus sporting venues to keep student and faculty users' personal electronics powered up. To date, Samsung Mobile has installed more than 300 Samsung Mobile charging stations in 10 of the nation's busiest airports including Miami International Airport (MIA), Houston InterContinental Airport (IAH), Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), John F.

| State funding cuts trigger proposed college tuition ... - KARE Posted: 19 Apr 2010 12:17 PM PDT ST PAUL, Minn.-- Cuts in state funding are at the core of a recommendation to hike tuition at Minnesota State Colleges and Universities. Average annual tuition and fee rates would increase by $210 for undergraduate students at the state colleges, and $301 at the state universities beginning this fall under a recommendation to the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees. The proposal calls for students at the 25 state colleges to pay an average of $4,907 or 4.5 percent more. Students at Minnesota's seven state universities would pay an average of $6,596 or 4.8 percent more for tuition and fees than the current year. The trustees are expected to vote on the tuition proposal at their board meeting May 19 board. "In the face of declining state support, the colleges and universities have made significant budget cuts even though enrollments are increasing rapidly," Chancellor James H. McCormick said. "We remain committed to providing high-quality programs and improving student success. The proposed tuition increases will help maintain programs and services for students." Other budgetary belt-tightening measures include increasing class sizes, limiting course offerings, reducing expenses for travel and equipment purchases, eliminating administrative support, restructuring and closing programs, and taking other actions. When adjusted for inflation, the system expects to spend less per-student than it did in fiscal year 2002. In fiscal year 2011, the system expects to spend $6,864 per full-year equivalent student, a reduction of $323 per student or 4.5 percent from 2002 levels. State appropriations are expected to cover 43 percent of the cost of educating students, while tuition would cover the other 57 percent. The board will have a public hearing on the proposed 2011 budget from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at the system office. The address is Wells Fargo Place, 30 7th St. E., Suite 350, St. Paul, 55101. The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system comprises 32 state universities and community and technical colleges serving the higher education needs of Minnesota. The system serves about 260,000 students per year in credit-based courses and an additional 164,000 students in non-credit courses. (Copyright 2010 by KARE. All Rights Reserved.)
