Room Atmosphere — Best Practices
Creating a great atmosphere will help the workshop be a success. A few best practices:
Have music playing during breaks and lunch.
Make sure to have several trash cans set up around the room so trash doesn't overflow.
Make sure drinks and snacks are set up at least 20 minutes before the start of the workshop. Assign someone to restock and straighten the snack area during lunch.
The room temperature should remain cool and comfortable.
Supplies
Supplies will be shipped to you the week prior to the workshop.
This will include a workbook, RA book, bracelets, pens, sticky name tags, Sharpies, and dots, along with the supplies needed for each table.
Your Workshop Coordinator will confirm the correct shipping address and will let you know when to expect the shipment.
Lunch & Snacks
Lunch: Please plan to have lunch brought in. Lunch should not be a heavy meal. Most organizations order box lunches (Panera Bread, Chick-fil-A, Corner Bakery, etc.).
Snacks: Snacks and beverages (water, coffee, etc.) should be available throughout all sessions.
