Reply to Live Captioning Practices
Hi Natalie,
Our guidelines (while not published) are to provide captioning and American Sign Language interpreting at all official university functions as well as any event that is open to the public. Our Acad/Admin departments as well as our University Union programming board do this pretty consistently. Smaller student orgs typically…

Reply to Stage Recommendations
Hi Colleen,
We use SICO tri-height risers. They are 4′ x 8′ and are height adjustable between 18″, 24″, and 30″, and they fold up pretty easily for moving and storing, and they lock together when set up. We mostly use the 18″ height, and the skirting and stairs we have are good for both 18″ and 24″. They have a reversible deck system with…

Reply to Rechargeable Batteries
Hi Kait,
I’ve been getting rechargeables from batterjunction.com. Specifically:
https://www.batteryjunction.com/batteries/shop-by-type-batteries/rechargeable/combo-md1600-16aa-opt with the Tenergy brand batteries.
We can usually get at least an academic year out of them before they start to show reduced runtime or charger errors.

Reply to Small infractions of student employees
Hi Everyone,
We’ve been using a point system for close to 15 years now. It was developed by, and at the request of, our Student Leads (managers) who were looking for a more consistent way to hold peers accountable.
I’ve linked the form that gets filled out below so you can see examples of our basic infractions. There’s also…

Hi Katie,
On our quad we have an art installation, as well as a pair of peace poles outside our chapel that include the Onondaga language. We’ve also just recently renovated the office housing our Native Student Program to include gathering space for students. We have a land acknowledgement read at all events, and anywhere the U.S. Flag…

Reply to Facility Management Staffing Structure
Hi Colleen,
We’ve been doing this for as long as I’ve been here (20+), possibly since the building opened in ’85. Our current office, Student Engagement, is comprised of four units: Leadership (student orgs and government), Engagement (late night programming initiatives and student programming board), Operations (day-to-day…

Hi Everyone,
Not sure how many institutions here this applies to but we happen to be in the path of totality for the April 8th solar eclipse.? There’s a growing sense of “we should be doing something” from different parts of campus, does anyone have anything planned on your campus that you’d be willing to share what you’re doing? Thanks!

Reply to Pricing for A/V Rentals and Last Minute Requests
Hi Carrie,
For our conference rooms, they are all equipped with a large screen monitor/computer and cameras for zoom or teams meetings. The largest conference room has multiple projectors and screens. However that same room is partitionable and only the center section has built in cameras. We will provide laptops for the outer two…

Hi Everyone,
Thought I’d throw my response in for anyone tracking it even though we’re not a ballroom. Our main space is a multipurpose auditorium. The first floor can seat up to 1,000, be set for a banquet for up to 470, and we host receptions, dance parties, expos, roller skating, and rumor has it we once hosted a car show.
