Hi everyone,

We currently have EMS at DePaul and are considering switching to Mazevo. If anyone currently uses it, we are seeing if there are any reservations with the software. Things not working as well or anything you feel they could improve, or change would be helpful for us as we evaluate. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ricardo,

Here at DePaul in Chicago we also use the Rockbot service and pay for a subscription. It is pretty easy to use from a User-friendly perspective. You put together a mix of songs and the service will choose specific songs based on the genre you set up. One area we sometime need to mute or turn the sound down for an event. I can…

Dave,

Sure. I will list them by area:

Facility Operations

Pros:

Less of a grey area. Had more decisive decisions regarding potential event issues, etc.

Good work relationship with all of the carpenters, electricians, and trades. If we needed an instant issue fixed, it was much easier to navigate.

Good work relationship with Campus…

Hi Dave,

Then in January 2023 we moved back to Student Affairs and this is…

Hey everyone,

We are in the process of looking into and researching new chairs for our main multipurpose ballroom on campus. I have the contacts of MTS and PS Furniture. Does anyone have any other chair companies they have used recently? Thanks.

At DePaul in Chicago we just had an early close last Friday and classes/events canceled yesterday due to weather.?

With us being the main area for students on campus to eat, we still have to be open at reduced hours. If anyone can relate, I will have fun working on payroll this week since it is due!?

Here is our policy below:

As Chris mentioned earlier, at DePaul we still use a round tracking system from Guard1 Plus. It has been implemented for over a decade.?

The positive with this system is that it encourages/requires our student employees to walk to areas of our building that may not have as much traffic. This could be a fire staircase, a corner of the building,…

Hi Ashley,

I agree with Paul. The Florlok from Event Equipment Retail is great and very durable. We have used a combination of this floor since we opened our facility in 2002. The only drawback from the floor is that the setup takes about 60-90 minutes (30-40 minutes to tear down). We sometimes need 6-8 students in order to setup and tear down… Read more
