The University of Tampa Spartan ID cards is the next step to making every student on campus a little bit safer after one UT student saw another university’s ID card and decided to make the change happen here.
Ricki Goldsmith, a junior international business and marketing major saw her brother’s ID card from Boston University and noticed some emergency numbers and others contact information located on the back of it.
Goldsmith came back to UT and told Chris McCarthy, SG vice president about the idea and now students that get new Spartan ID cards will have the direct lines for Campus Safety and Security, LASER Team, Health Services and the UT mainline on the back of their card. All new incoming freshmen will also get the updated version.
“It’s so students could benefit as a security measure,” McCarthy said.
Several SG members and UT officials decided on which numbers they should include on the card.
Current student would have to pay a fee to get their original card replaced but McCarthy said he is looking into the fees.
