Student Activities Department and Student Activities Center 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The mission of the Student Activities Department is to provide activities and services for the University community. Through its various boards, committees, and staff, it provides cultural, social, and recreational programs, aiming to make the out-of-class experience a part of the total educational process while advancing the institutional mission. These programs promote a sense of community and loyalty to the University while serving as a place for social, intellectual, and developmental growth for students as individuals or as part of a group. The vision of Student Activities and the Student Activities Center is to engage every UofL student in a positive manner through vibrant experiences that enrich and connect the student community in such a way as to enhance their learning and development. Greek Life Greek Life oversees 24 chapters of national and international fraternities and sororities. Approximately 10% of the fulltime undergraduate student body is Greek affiliated. National Student Exchange NSE provides students with affordable and practical exchange opportunities to experience new and diverse settings in which to study and live. Nearly 200 colleges and universities in 48 states, 3 U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia provide exchange opportunities at UofL tuition rates. Student Activities Board The Student Activities Board provides social, multicultural, recreational, and education activities for the University’s students and other interested members of the campus community. From movies to lectures, cultural celebrations to concerts, comedy shows to cookouts, homecoming events to casino nights, SAB provides co-curricular activities that enhance students’ experiences at the University. Commuter Student Services Commuter Student Services (CSS) provides services and support for commuter students at the University of Louisville. The office provides information on admissions, registrations and financial aid, as well as catalogs, course schedules, placement tests, and study skills workshops. In addition, drop/add, tuition refund, and transcript request forms are available. The Center has a computer lab, a typewriter, a copy machine, and a lounge for student use. Student Activities Center The Student Activities Center provides a broad variety of activities and programs to assist students in participating in the UofL community and in developing skills and knowledge of leadership, wellness, service, and diversity. Among many other facilities, the SAC houses a state-of-the-art movie theatre, fast food promenade, huge cafeteria, giant bookstore, Cardinal Corner Game Room, and meeting rooms. The East Wing of the SAC 1 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs houses the Athletics and Intramurals offices and gymnasium. The SAC has various spaces available for meetings, gatherings, and events for student groups and departmental functions. Audiovisual equipment is available. George J. Howe Red Barn The Red Barn provides services and programs of a diverse nature, including concerts, movies, cookouts, meetings, and various other social and administrative events. The facility is available for use by students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other interested parties. Student Activities and Student Activities Center was reorganized in the spring 2007 with the elimination of the Campus Life area to reporting to the Dean of Students. In the Spring 2008, as a result of budget reductions within the division of Student Affairs, fulltime professional staff of Commuter Student Services were eliminated through reduction in force. 2007-08 was a year of growth, not only in the numbers of chapters of Greek letter organizations, but overall participants. The number of male students joining fraternities was the highest in the past 28 years. The sororities had the highest number of women students joining since our records began in 1964 - 44 years ago. Forty-two new recognized student organizations were approved bringing our total number of RSOs to 241. Greek Life participated in the CAS review of the fraternity and sorority advising area. The Panhellenic Council approved a document on growth for the future, made major changes in the Greek Philanthropy Day format, and voted to adopt the Priority system of accepting invitations in sorority recruitment to increase the number of students joining. A document was put in place to provide support for National Pan-Hellenic Council chapters seeking to re-establish their chapters on campus. We continued to see chapters and alumni take on the expensive and time consuming task of building and renovating chapter houses. Phi Kappa Tau dedicated their new home in October and Sigma Kappa re-dedicated their totally renovated home in February. It was exciting to see increased publicity and coverage of Greek and RSO events in the campus and local media. With twenty fraternity and sorority members serving as Student Orientation leaders, Greeks serving as all of the SGA executive officers, and Greeks pictured as most of the students featured in U of L’s branding campaign flags that line the street to enter campus, one quickly realizes the amazing opportunities available to students in our Greek organizations. The Student Activities Board (SAB) programs and events provide social activities for students that help them develop communities of common interest. SAB’s commitment to multicultural awareness and diversified programming for the entire student body provides students with opportunities to learn about other cultural communities, while forming bonds with fellow students that will support them during their collegiate career. 2 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs The SAB had a very successful year in programming for the Red Barn and the SAC. SAB, and especially the film committee, had record attendance figures for the past year. Strong relationship continued to be maintained and developed across the campus and in the community to provide quality services and programs for the student community. The value and benefit of student involvement outside of the classroom has been emphasized to students throughout the year. A year of transition and change has set the foundation for future growth of Student Activities and the Student Activities Center. The recent selection of a new food services provider, Sodexo, and the retaining of an architectural firm for expansion and renovation for the Center will hasten the evolution of a vibrant campus community.

An awareness table was set up in the SAC for two days. Buttons and facts and myths about hazing were distributed. A documentary entitled, “Unless a Death Occurs” was shown to all fraternity and sorority presidents and discussed afterwards. 6 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs Nationally known speaker, Rick Barnes, spoke on the topic of “Hazing: When Will It End?” to an audience of over 175 fraternity and sorority members and student athletes. A reception followed for sponsors of the program to meet the speaker. Fifteen appointments were scheduled with national representatives from 11 fraternities and sororities that visited the campus during the year. Student Activities hosted Jennifer Jones, National President of NPHC, to visit the campus. She met with groups and students and presented a staff development workshop for the Student Affairs staff. The undergraduate NPHC hosted a dinner in her honor at the NPHC suite. The Panhellenic Council invited Ms. Cinda O’Connor, National Panhellenic Conference Area Advisor to visit the U of L campus and meet with various groups regarding the topic of sorority growth. Greek Life was involved with the Body Appreciation/Body Awareness Week (BABA). Joni Burke, Katy Buerger and two students served on the steering committee. Buttons were distributed. The Panhellenic Council hosted their weekly meeting at the Century Project photography exhibit. The Student Activities Board and Panhellenic Council partnered for a Club Programming grant to cover costs of the exhibit and reception. The 2008 Greek Week featured a Quick Recall Game, the Greek Games, a Greek God and Goddess Pageant, and a service project involving fifty Wellington Elementary School fifth graders who visited the campus. The students were given pizza and children’s books collected by the Greeks. Extra books were sent back to the school for other children. The Greeks also collected school supplies for all of the children and gave them all bags of goodies. Fifty extra bags of school supplies were taken to the nearby Cabbage Patch Settlement House to distribute to needy children. Kosair Charities sponsored the school bus to deliver the students and teachers to campus. Greeks enjoyed reading to the students, answering questions about college, and teaching them the CARDS cheer. The 71st Annual Fryberger Greek Sing was held on March 2, 2008. A sellout crowd of 1,700 saw 17 groups perform at the Memorial Auditorium. This year the Fryberger Sing Board awarded two $1,000 scholarships to fraternity and sorority members. The Panhellenic and Interfraternity Councils sponsored the Greek Ball at the Kaden Towers. 200 students attended. SAB had a very successful year in programming for the Red Barn and the SAC. The SAB, and especially the film committee, has had record attendance figures for the past year: 7 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs Spring 2007 event totals: Number of events: 87 Number of program hours: 314:59 Film attendance: 2,272 Approximate number of students served: 9,662 Fall 2007 event totals: Number of events: 101 Number of program hours: 365:14 Film attendance: 3,157 Approximate number of students served: 15,397 Spring 2008 event totals: Number of events: 92 Number of program hours: 359:00 Film attendance: 2,280 Approximate number of students served: 9,930 SAB’s commitment to multicultural awareness and diversified programming for the entire student body provides students with opportunities to learn about other cultural communities, while forming bonds with fellow students that will support them during their collegiate careers. The following events were particularly beneficial to these goals: Orientation fairs and evening events Weekend Movies and Sneak previews in the Floyd Theatre Welcome Weekend -Cards Under the Stars Rooftop party Welcome Weekend – Playfair Welcome Weekend – Drive-In Movie Welcome Week - Block Party Welcome Week - SAB Ice Cream Socials Homecoming Festivities HSC Mixers SGA/SAB Block Party Intramural “Up All Night” Spring Fest Earth Day LGBT Film Festival Hart-Lunsford Film Festival Black History Month Film Festival LGBT Film Festival International Dance Party Pink Tuesday Night Class Act Efforts in the past year were made to expand and improve programs and services at the Red Barn and the Swain Student Activities Center (SAC). The staff worked with the 8 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) member groups, Student Activities Board (SAB), Porter Scholars, and Recognized Student Organization’s (RSO’s) in coordinating and sponsoring events at the Red Barn and the SAC. NPHC was recognized for their 15 year anniversary at UofL. Staff provided assistance supervising events at the Red Barn and SAC. Discussions have begun to revise RSO event policy. Through George Howe’s leadership, scholarships for University of Louisville (U of L) students continued to be provided as follows: Scholarships to Henry County students and emergency scholarship awards based on financial need from the endowed Harold Adams Memorial fund. $10/ $50 each Straight from the Heart awards from the Harold Adams Memorial Scholarship fund. Two $300 Essie Jenkins and Dennis Golden Torchbearer Scholarships and four $300 Bridgette Pregliasco/SGA/ACCESS (Adult Commuter Center Evening Student Services) scholarships. Four $800 Red Barn Alumni Association (RBAA) Florence M. Strickler scholarships. Emergency award based on financial need through the RBAA Earl Alluisi Emergency Scholarship fund through the Florence M. Strickler endowment. Financial help to selected students for the International and Domestic Spring break trips. $100 each to the ACCESS Adult Student Learner, undergraduate and graduate. Efforts were intensified through the RBAA to establish the new Red Barn Endowment to ensure the financial well being of the Red Barn and to preserve the programmatic function that is the tradition of the Red Barn. The database of former student leaders was updated. Faculty and staff are able to utilize payroll deductions to benefit the three endowed programs and to benefit our ongoing effort to establish a new Red Barn endowment through RBAA. The RBAA conducted the following fundraising efforts: November mailing for the endowed Harold Adams Memorial fund, the RBAA Florence M. Strickler Endowment and the Torchbearer Endowment. Summer RBAA mailing for the Florence M. Strickler Endowment and toward the new Red Barn endowment. 12th annual RBAA golf scramble. Kelly J. Higgins RBAA Spring and Fall Day at the Races at Churchill Downs. 38th Red Barn Birthday Party on Friday, December 7th, 2007, that included the opening and viewing of the contents from the Red Barn time capsule that was filled in 1990. Student Activities continues to enhance and assess the diversity of student programming through the leadership of the Student Activities Department, Student Government 9 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs Association and the Student Activities Board. Student and staff focus groups, on-line voting for surveys, and the Red Barn/Student Activities Board Event Assessment forms to assess the Student Activities Department programming and facilities needs of the campus community continue to be used. Collaborative efforts with the Graduate schools in developing programs that would attract students from the Medical, Dental, Law, Business, and Professional Schools were continued. Programs and services were provided for Commuter Student Services (CSS), Disability Resource Center (DRC), and the Health Science Campus (HSC) as follows: Pizza bars for CSS. Potato bars for CSS. Ice cream bars for CSS. Salad bars for CSS. Cook outs at the DRC. Big 3 Mixers for the HSC with the support of the SAB and the Big 3. The Red Barn continued to provide the Doo Wop PA system for predominately AfricanAmerican and RSO’s events at the Red Barn, the SAC and other locations. The SAC display cases continue to be used to provide RSO’s the opportunity to promote their groups. Student Activities provided program planning assistance for the Recognized Student Organizations. Sharon Mudd developed event planning criteria and workshops for RSO and RSO advisors. The staff established a timeline and checklist for groups to use as a guide as they plan their events. Provided one-on-one assistance, guidance, and mentoring in the area of event planning to student organizations. The staff continued to distribute program manuals to RSO members. A new mailbox system was set up for all Recognized Student Organizations. One hundred event requests were processed for security needs for RSOs. Student Activities enhanced leadership development opportunities and training for students and student groups by further developing collaborative efforts between Student Activities, faculty, RSO/Greek Organizations, other university departments, and community agencies. Greek Life and Recognized Student Organization staff offered the following training and development programs: Fourteen RSO Mandatory meetings including one at the HSC campus- 161 students attended. Five Alcohol Education Sessions for student organizations. Three ICS computer trainings were offered for students and alumnae advisors prior to PH sorority recruitment. The Panhellenic Council sponsored two “Mock Mediation/Hearing” training for sorority officers and advisors, July 2007 and May 2008. The Panhellenic Council sponsored an Officer Transition and Goals Workshop, December, 2007. 10 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs The Student Activities Board provided high-profile co-curricular activities and learning opportunities for students during National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, Black History Month, Women's History Month, and other specific observances. The Student Activities Center continued to support the reorganization of Student Affairs and the Dean of Students Office. Student Activities promoted the changes to the university community at every opportunity by being a positive voice for the changes as we find our new identity. We continue to provide logistics for the moves to include physical labor, storage, computer setup, as well as phone and data changes. The staff promoted the concept of the Pledge of Community copyrighted by Alvin Herring in 2002 by displaying it in our offices and near the time clock in the Student Activities Office. The time has come for us to move into a new direction and use a new branding for Student Activities. The CARDSS concept has served us well, but much like the Pledge of Community the time has come for us to move into a new direction and use a new branding for Student Activities. Staff continue to work with IT on promotion of the wireless network (internet access) in the Student Activities Center and Red Barn for use by the campus community. We worked with Student Government representatives to promote the use of the wireless access points in the Student Activities Center and Red Barn through their leadership channels. The UofL Wireless network has been extensively used by students in the SAC. The goal is to provide more lounge space for students to be able to take advantage of the existing network. Signs have been put up throughout the facility in the SAC and Red Barn to encourage its use. The information racks located in the SAC and Red Barn have never been extensively used by University Departments or Student Groups. The Red Barn uses them for distribution of forms offering scholarship money and the military recruiters have used them for recruitment literature. The Patriot Newspaper has ceased to exist and their newspaper racks were given to the Louisville Cardinal for use in the SAC. The Student Government Association has continued its free Courier-Journal newspaper program which has been very successful. In most cases all of the papers are distributed and few are left to recycle. Development of possible revenue sources to enhance the facilities, programs, scholarships, and services managed or supported by Student Activities continues. The use of the Red Barn and the Student Activities Center for private events, such as wedding receptions and special events to generate revenue for the operation of the Student Activities Center and Red Barn is being explored. We continue to be proactive in collecting fees from the users of the SAC and Red Barn. A few groups who previously scheduled facilities through the food services office without charge are now being assessed a fee to use the facilities and must schedule them through the Student Activities Department. The increased revenue will show-up in the 2008-2009 budget year. We continue to bill users of our facilities on a timely basis. 11 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs Student Affairs was successfully moved to the SAC. The Dean of Students offices and the Student Activities Offices swapped spaces and were moved without a major incident. Student Activities, with help from the Dean of Students and the Vice President for Student Affairs, created two new meeting rooms: SAC W305 and SAC W307. Both rooms were created with minimal renovation of the Dean of Students suite. The maintenance and upgrades of the departmental computer systems continues as needed to keep current with new programs and initiatives such as Target Vision, Event Management System, Resource 25, PeopleSoft, Orion, and GroupWise. Data projectors were installed by the SAC staff in 3 rooms: SAC W303A, SAC W305 and SAC W307. Cabling and wall plates were installed so a laptop could be connected to the front or back walls of the rooms. In addition a VCR or DVD could be connected to the front wall in each room. All cabling was plenum rated in accordance with fire codes. Electric was also provided for all three projectors by the Physical Plant electricians free of charge. White 20 Amp outlets and covers were provided by the SAC. Manual projection screens were installed by the SAC staff in SAC W307, SAC W305 and SAC W310D. Desktop PC’s were purchased for the anticipated Director of Student Activities and the Student Activities Business Manager. Several new printers were also purchased to replace dead or quirky printers. Dave Shaw maintained the Student Activities PC Disaster Recovery Plan for the SAC Server. This server is used for the Student Activities Reservation program. We continued enhancement of the Student Activities Center public area furnishings through the additional placement of plants, artwork, banners, and/or photographs on public area walls, and through recovering or replacing furniture in the facility. Seminar tables were purchased for meeting rooms SAC W303A, SAC W305 and SAC W307. Also, groundwork has been done to replace additional furniture in the SAC and Red Barn. Louisville Cardinal Flags were installed in the SAC public areas using PVC pipe. Furniture was reconfigured in smaller groupings to facilitate small group interaction in the SAC Atrium. Signage in the SAC continues to be a challenge. We are trying to get the entire building signage replaced. Meanwhile, we are using some temporary signage for the new meeting rooms and offices. The President’s Office has taken over our banners outside the SAC and has replaced them with short-term banners that need to be replaced more often. We have lost the ability to maintain these banners with our own selections. One challenge we have had is keeping banners on the east side of the SAC. Many times this location is forgotten which leads to a call to the company that maintains the banners. Phase two of the Multipurpose Room movable wall project was completed in the Spring 2008. Carpet was replaced in the Prefunction area and the Multipurpose Rooms of the SAC in November/December of 2007. Painting was also completed in these areas. The 12 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs foundation drink machine was removed from the Multipurpose Room. Carpet was replaced in SAC W301 suite and the new meeting rooms in SAC W305 and SAC W307. Painting was also completed in these areas. The Red Barn received a major facelift with painting in preparation for the naming of the Red Barn in December 2007. The Director of the SAC is in the process of replacing lounge furniture for the SAC. The SAC will be replacing the MPR chairs in the 2008-2009 school year. We thought we could replace them in the current year, but the movable wall project was much more than was originally quoted to the Director of Student Activities, therefore this purchase was deferred to the new budget year. New chairs have been specified and quoted and we are waiting for July 1st to order them. Lockers were installed and implemented by Student Activities. Occupancy was 85% for the first year which is pretty good since the lockers were not ready at the beginning of the school year as we had hoped they would be. Installation was not completed until a few weeks after school started. John Smith has kept us up-to-date on our CPR training and in keeping our AED’s maintained properly. We coordinate training for all possible staff in the SAC and Red Barn that potentially could be in a situation to utilize the AEDs. Our goal is to get all employees in the SAC trained and certified in CPR and AED training. Our hope is that Physical Plant will partner with us in keeping all Physical Plant employees properly trained. The staff under Dave Shaw’s leadership revamped the Building Emergency Action Plan (BEAP) program for the SAC due to the reorganization of Student Affairs and the major moving of several offices. Cameras have been installed and activated for the monitoring of the lockers in the SAC. Additionally, the SAC facilities staff assisted in the installation of the cameras in the counseling center offices and the ability to record counselors for the School of Education. Additional cameras will be reviewed for future installation in the SAC public areas such as adjacent to the Floyd Theater. For 2007-2008, 830 events/services that are directly related to George Howe, to the Red Barn and to the Red Barn Programs Office. We directed and coordinated with RSO’s, SAB, Student Affairs and RBAA for use of the Red Barn for the following: 14 MNRB Programs with a total attendance recorded of 1,139; 20 TNO at the Red Barn events with a total attendance recorded of $1,434; 19 WNRB Programs with a total attendance recorded of 1,168; 12 TNRB Programs with a total attendance recorded of 585; 18 TGIF events at the Red Barn (and 1 in the SAC MR CDFGH) with a total attendance recorded of 1,456; 28 GMC events at the Red Barn with a total participation of 1474. 13 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs The Student Activities Center recorded 5,469 active bookings for the 2007-2008 school year, with another 508 canceled bookings, for a total of 5,977 total bookings in 20072008. This shows an approximately 10% increase in bookings from the previous year. We maintained a wireless people counting system from MWalker Company to assist in statistical analysis of how the facilities are being used and traffic flow. Numbers may have increased more if it was not for the downtime created by renovation projects. Student Activities Center provided 18,718 individual resources for events and programs during the 2007-2008 academic year. Pre-paid flat Center fees for the Department of Admissions and the Student Activities Board were coordinated to streamline billing and to make it possible for these departments to budget the year without worrying about additional charges for last minute requests. Staff opened the Student Activities Center as scheduled, even when the University had a weather delay. Our philosophy is that the center needs to open for those who arrive on campus without hearing about the delay. Many times we are their only safe haven as Department of Public Safety (DPS) locks down the other facilities until later in the morning. In an effort to provide additional support for students, the Swain Student Activities Center extended operating hours (until 2:00 AM) during final examinations for the Fall 2007 semester. Free boneless chicken wings were provided by the Student Government Association from Wing Zone (http://www.wingzone.com/) and coffee was provided by Student Activities at 11:00 PM. 12/2/2007 12/3/2007 12/5/2007 12/6/2007 12/9/2007 11:15 PM 8 51 32 15 11 11:45 PM 1 9 9 7 8 12:15 AM 2 5 9 4 7 12:45 AM 2 7 8 5 8 1:15 AM 2 4 5 3 5 1:45 AM 0 3 0 0 2 Based on these numbers, it was determined that people were generally not studying in the SAC and only came for the free food. Due to the low turnout of people actually studying, this service was not provided for the 2008 Spring semester. In the Fall 2007, Student Activities implemented a calendar network sharing meetings bringing together a variety of departments and organizations from across the campus. Held once a semester the calendar network meeting allows for areas to share information about upcoming events as well as encourage the use and promotion of the online student calendar. In early summer 2008, areas were given permission to directly enter 14 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs information into the online student calendar. Hopefully the calendar will become a strong planning tool and resource for the student community.

ISSUES AND CHALLENGES As a department Student Activities continues to face the challenge of creating an appropriate level of office support. The challenges noted below will continue to affect the productivity of staff: storage space additional office space for the Graduate Assistants and Graduate Interns storage and office space and a printer for student organizations storage and workspace for the Greek governing councils securing clerical support for the data entry for Greek Life, Recognized Student Organizations, and the National Student Exchange The creation of a Greek Housing Master Plan is becoming more pressing. Securing permanent housing/ meeting space for the four unhoused fraternities needs to be resolved. Issues of helping Greek Organizations raise funds/secure loans to make needed safety and security renovations to older homes is difficult. Starting in 2009, all student organizations that have over $25,000 pass through their checking accounts will be required by the IRS to file a report/possibly pay federal income taxes based on the end of their fiscal year. WE will be working to get the word out and assist all our RSOs to be mindful of these dates. Recording demographic data was very difficult. We focus a lot of energy on just collecting accurate numbers for event attendance. We are taking measure to improve our reporting methods. We have purchased ID scanners to accurately capture student attendance and demographic data. The loss of the third advisor to the SAB will put added strain back on the other two advisors, especially in the area of event coverage. The SAB is facing a deficit coming into this new fiscal year due to increased tuition increases. Costs for entertainment are escalating due to rising gas prices and the status of the economy, but the SAB budget remains the same or even less from the year before. The CPC program has been a great help but if we are to prepare for the future, I believe that we need to find ways to increase our funding. Cleanliness of the Student Activities Center continues to be a concern. The quality of housekeeping services needs to be improved to meet the expectations of the campus community. A recent survey by the Association of Physical Plant Administrators indicated that cleanliness of facilities can affect retention and recruitment. 35 2007-2008 Annual Report Office of Student Affairs XII.
