Hi Kaitlyn,
At Georgia Tech, we just added Aunt Flow products to all student center facilities. Dispensers are located in each women’s restroom and each single-use all gender/family restroom. We also went with Aunt Flow’s disposal system – which is much more both user and custodian friendly – and we have one with each toilet in the…

Hi everyone,
We’re exploring a tweak to how our <strong data-start=”421″ data-end=”451″>meeting room status lights communicate availability, and I’d love to hear if anyone has tried something similar (or found other creative solutions to prevent “squatters” when locking doors isn’t practical).

Hi Kevin,
In the academic year, we operate 24/7, but we go to GT Community Access only (aka card access) from 11pm-7am. We also make an announcement stating anyone remaining in the facility must have a valid Buzzcard and show it if asked. We will shift access when we get to the holidays or prolonged breaks.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Fellow Student Center Leaders –
I’ve been asked to gather information on what other campuses are doing surrounding access to their student centers. Currently, we (University of St. Thomas) have unrestricted access during our hours of operation, roughly 7am-12am daily.
Does your campus student center operate similarly? If you are a campus…

Hi Kaitlyn,
Here is some information from UNC Charlotte:
1. What buildings are they in? Student Centers (2 Buildings); UREC; Health Center; Residence Halls
2. Does every restroom have products or only select floors in each building? Nearly every restroom. Some single stall restrooms do not have them due to lack of wall-mount space. Some single…

Hello all,
We are currently reviewing how we address our aux units in our facility. Currently, in addition to food service, we also house the university card and parking office, and the university bookstore. At this point, the food service contract doesn’t speak to any montly/yearly space lease agreements. Our bookstore is over 15K sqft…

Failed to mention that I am trying to match information on the third sheet. Exp. I want a student’s first name and last name AND the amount they were paid to match on the third sheet with their first name and last name AND then assign their position to them.

Smartsheet users… I have hit a speedbump and need some help. I am trying to move data from two sheets to an entirely different third sheet. Neither the Smartsheet help section or ChatGpt has helped, everything ends up “unparseable.” Any help would be appreciated.
Cross-posting.

4. Who oversees these products? Facilities,…
