SMITHSBURG, Md. ‑ Morgan State University's new state-of-the-art student center in Baltimore, Md., would not be complete without a means to visually and dynamically communicate with students. Morgan State chose to solve that issue by looking to digital signage for the ability to automate scheduling with student communications.

With the Noventri Digital Signage System, Morgan State is able to create and manage content on large displays that have been strategically located throughout the student center. Each meeting room is also additionally equipped with a small display that identifies the room and provides information about scheduled meetings. Noventri Digital Signage is integrated with the University's scheduling software so that meeting schedules are dynamically updated.
