As members of the Student Senate’s technology committee continued to promote a survey aimed at garnering student input on the development of a K-State mobile app, Ben Dewberry, co-founder of LigoSphere, LLC, spoke to Senators about a different sort of app. Dewberry’s company is launching an app intended to “[help] you keep up with what’s happening on your college campus.”
According to Dewberry, K-State is among five campuses that will have access to an alpha version of the app in the App Store and Google Play on April 3. Features of the app include postings of campus events, job and internship opportunities, food and drink specials, a ‘shop and swap’ marketplace similar to Craigslist, a lost and found section and more.
Dewberry said the app will require a .edu email address to log in, limiting its features to the respective campus communities.
After Dewberry’s presentation, the Senate moved into legislation. With the final meeting of the session slated for next week, Senators spent more than three hours introducing and passing bills and resolutions.
