(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121129/PH20872) Peter Ossmann, assistant director of emergency management at Siena Heights University (SHU) will discuss the experiences and lessons his school has learned over the course of two years with uTip, an anonymous tipping system that utilizes text messaging, the web, and printed posters. "The tipping system we chose to implement offers us an important communication link from students to the administration," Ossmann says. "We've learned a lot over the last two years, including new and innovative uses for our system and I'm anxious to share that with others." Ossmann will discuss the steps SHU took to evaluate and implement a system, and then build recognition among students and faculty to promote its use. SHU also uses the system to offer a unique customer service feature during events, an aspect that Ossmann will cover as well.
