Hi Gina,

We do not allow fog machines or hazers from RSOs or other customers. The Department has a hazer for lighting and is careful not to overdo it because it can set off smoke detectors if it’s too thick. CAB uses a fogger for their? “Fright Night” event, but it is monitored by our tech team.

Haze machines produce a finer mist or “haze”…

Hi Kaitlyn,

We recently renovated our cafe game room at UWF. I don’t have an assessment for planning a game room renovation, but our three most popular amusements are ping pong, pool, and the Nintendo Switch. Our game room also features a foosball table, pinball, air hockey, Xbox consoles, and board games.?

We do have a gameroom…

Jenny,
We recently completed some wall decor around the UWF Commons. We did not go into meeting rooms, but the idea is in line with your project. I’ll attach some pics.

We started doing the Price is Right at last year’s all-staff training and it’s amazing how the cost of radios and tables have stuck with our students all year long. Plus, they had a great time participating. We plan to do it again with some of the new summer purchases.

Hi Ashley,

At UWF, pool cues, air hockey paddles, foosballs, game controllers and ping pong paddles are all checked out at our service desk. We swipe the student’s ID card into our POS register system to help track usage and are held at the desk until the student returns their item. We have created signage in and around the game room to help… Read more

That sounds like big fun! I’ve already put the bug in our Director’s ear and she’s onboard. Thanks for the idea (via West Chester.)

Hi Susan,

The UWF Commons has been ordering our PnD from Georgia Expo for nearly 20 years. I’ve not done any comparison shopping because we’ve been quite satisfied with their quality and service.

Eric,

Our group is fairly small (usually between 9 and 10 members) and attendance runs at about 80-90% for our monthly meetings. Thankfully, involvement has not been much of an issue. I think this stems from the fact that we started the group sometime during the COVID lockdown, when it was vital that we communicate regularly. Fortunately,… Read more

Eric,

We have also created a “partners” group for our union. The group consists of leadership from operations, event services, auxiliary outlets like the bookstore, dining services and postal services, Student Engagement, as well as the director for Auxiliary Services. We have set up a google folder, group chat and partner calendar so we can… Read more

This is a great subject and I’d love to know what others are doing with their surveys. We are renovating several areas in our union and I’ve just started drafting a survey to take the overall temperature of our users.
