Message From Leadership
Before the COVID-19 Pandemic, City University of Seattle was well-positioned to deliver the curriculum in an on-line format. As we move into the second year of working remotely, the School of Technology & Computing (STC) is dedicated to building an online community to enrich the learning experience, career development, and support lifelong learning & professional development.
Our leadership is committed to offering multiple ways of being connected ‘virtually’. Every quarter you will be invited to this community building meeting to encourage your engagement in STC activities that will enhance your education and employability now and beyond graduation.
Publishing Your Research and Building Your Brand
Student: Why do I need to publish capstone/thesis research paper?
Faculty: Publishing your research allows the community to learn from your findings and expand on it. It can serve an inspiration for new content to be researched. This also prevents duplicate work. Publishing your work allows you to improve your personal brand that helps you with your career growth.
Student: Why would I use CityU’s repository?
Faculty: By publishing your work with CityU’s, the reader can immediately verify that your research is indeed with CityU. In this way, you don’t have to manage or look for third-party sites to publish your work.
Student: I have my paper published in CityU. What now?
Faculty: Access your paper and save the URL. You can use the URL to add it to your professional information such as Resume or LinkedIn.
Can student upload their projects/papers?
Yes. They just need to register on the site the first time they login. Many students submit their own papers.
Can the faculty upload projects/papers on behalf of students?
Yes. The license is written so that you can submit on behalf of someone else. If it’s submitted as open access, we assume the school/program is clearing that with the student author.
I submitted my paper, why can’t I see it?
Our faculty usually process them about once a quarter, so there may be some lag between submission and publication.

The iPad is credited with triggering the death of the PC era. As of September 2020, Apple has sold more than 500 million iPads.
