Communication is vital to this event and communication was done through several factors.◦ Student Schedules had the times and meeting places of all the
classes.◦ Student schedules were printed the night before and distributed to
program faculty so every student had a schedule (required to pick up the laptop).
◦ Reminder post-cards went out to the students a month before the event to have them mark the date.
◦ Signage was put up across campus highlighting key areas for students.
◦ Signage was put up across campus recognizing vendors who donated.◦ Signage was put up in buildings directing student groups.◦ Student Success/Student Government met students in our building
with laptops to provide schedules to walk-ins, give directions, help solve student issues.
