FAU Student Government Displays New Marquis

BOCA RATON, FL (October 7, 2004) - Drivers and passengers heading east on Glades Road will see something new on Florida Atlantic University's Boca Raton campus - a new color LED video display. FAU's Student Government funded this new marquis that will be used to advertise FAU events to the community, as well as display important events such as graduation.

"This is a great new way to keep people informed about what's going on at FAU," said Kirk Murray, chief of staff to the FAU student body president. "We want twenty advertisements running at one time, with 15-second intervals, so each spot will get run every five minutes."

The board was purchased from LED Solutions in Ontario, Canada. For more information on the new marquis, call student government at 561-297-3740.

LED is short for Light Emitting Diode. The display's power consumption is less than neon or fluorescent lamps and provides better environmental, fire and personnel safety than traditional lighting systems. For more information on the LED video display, please visit www.ledsolution.com.
