New Talking Stick Addresses Furloughs, Security, and More
The September + October 2009 issue of the Talking Stick magazine should be on your desk (or in your hands). For those who don’t receive the print version, however, we offer the digital option.
In this issue ACUHO-I again recognizes September as National Campus Safety Awareness Month, this time focusing on new educational approaches to fire safety as well as stressing the important role actual real-life people play in the security process, even as technology continues to improve. Luke LaCroix from The College of New Jersey and Bruce Griffin from the University of North Carolina are our authors for these feature stories.
Also, Stephanie Carter-Smith from the University of South Carolina takes a look at the sensitive subject and difficult process of employee furloughs. In this story she shows how campuses are managing morale and maintaining customer service even as staff schedules are juggled.
Other topics in this issue include a look at the future of automated maintenance management, the capital planning process, and the growing number of community colleges that have residence halls.
Remember that you can always link to the latest digital Talking Stick from the front page of the ACUHO-I Web site and find individual past issues here. The magazine is available to all members, so e-mail and pass along links to the stories your colleagues most need to read.
