many rounds of voting by students. Ai-Chi Lu,
a 6th-semester computer science and engineering
major, won the contest. Her personal design,which she said was inspired by the current
UConn Web site, has a futuristic and precise
feel.
"I originally entered this contest because I
wasn?t satisfied with the current UConn ID, so
when I saw the opportunity to make a change
I was pretty excited to take on the challenge,"
Lu said.
Lu said she has always loved art and design,
and she?s made various designs for the School
of Engineering and Web sites. For designing the
winning ID, Lu received $250 in Husky Bucks.
"I feel most rewarded for being able to use
my own custom-designed ID in my own college,"
Lu said. "I?m really happy to know that
my ID will be used by over 20,000 UConn
students [and faculty]. I just hope everyone will
like it as much as I do."
It is the university?s goal to enable students,
faculty, and staff to use many services on campus
with their Husky One Card, according to
the Husky One Card office. It can currently
be used for access to the residence halls, the
Student Recreational Facility and the dining
halls (with a valid meal plan). In addition,
Husky Bucks can be used for doing laundry
and photocopying, as well as making other
purchases in various locations on the Storrs and
regional campuses.
The new IDs will replace the current design,
which has been in use since the Husky One Card
office opened five years ago, Francis said.
Husky One cards can be picked up at the
Husky One Card office, which is located on the
second floor of the Wilbur Cross building, from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m., May 14 to May18.
