Awareness Opportunities Policy : Wilson Commons Student Activities : University of Rochester

Awareness Opportunities Policy

Awareness Opportunity Reservations lasts up to 2 weeks per group/per project. To ensure equal and fair access to others, groups cannot schedule consecutive reservation periods. If multiple groups are involved in the project, the reservation period is still limited to 2 weeks.
These areas are NOT to be used to promote singular events. Past project examples include: nationally recognized weeks or months, community weekends, awareness of social issues.

Collection box space is limited to an area within the confines of the Common Connection. We reserve the right to place the collection box in an appropriate space as to not interfere with the daily activities of the department.
At the conclusion of the reservation period, the collection box must be picked-up by the reserving group within 2 days. Wilson Commons Student Activities is not responsible for collection boxes after the reservation has expired.
The student organization or department will provide the collection box. It must be labeled with the sponsoring organization or department, the dates of the collection, where the items will be donated and what items will be accepted (examples include, but not limited to, clothing, non-perishable food items, school supplies, etc.).
Currency CANNOT be collected in the collection boxes.
The student organization or department will check the collection box frequently to empty the contents.
Wilson Commons Student Activities is not responsible for theft of items placed in the collection box.

Items cannot be directly affixed to the wall. Clips are available for sign-out at the Common Connection to hang items from the wire. If clips are not returned, the organization/department will be charged $2 per clip.
All displays must clearly state the sponsoring organization/department and a statement of purpose for the project.
Student organization displays must be approved by the adviser before they are hung.
Wilson Commons Student Activities is not responsible for loss or damage to the items used in the display.
All display items must be removed by 8pm on the last day of the reservation period. Wilson Commons Student Activities is not responsible for display items that are not removed by the end of the reservation period.

On the first day of the reservation period, the organization/department must come to the Common Connection to sign out the case key. The key must be returned after the items are put in place and is not to be kept during the entire reservation period.
Items can be affixed to the back wall utilizing thumbtacks or push pins. These will NOT be provided by Wilson Commons Student Activities. Display items can be set in the bottom of the case. Scotch tape can be used to string items through the case. No other kind of tape is permitted.
