Revitalizing Your New Member Acceptance Practices

Session materials from “Revitalizing Your New Member Acceptance Practices” presented by Emily Sears and Rahul Mannapperuma at NASCO Institute 2024.  Updating your co-op's practices to align with your vision, mission and goals is no small feat. After a downward trend of engaged student members, Neill-Wycik decided to overhaul their membership acceptance from a "First Come, First Serve" policy to a rigorous, robust process to ensure the alignment of new co-op members with the co-op's mission and vision as best as possible.

Bedroom Fire Demonstration - Video

A mock dormitory fire was started on the campus of Oakland University (Rochester Hills, MI) on October 21, 2009, to show how quickly fires can spread. The demonstration was an initiative of Oakland University's Environmental Health and Safety Office and conducted under the watchful eye of OU Campus Police and the Auburn Hills Fire Department. As you can see in the video, the fire engulfed the mock dormitory in less than four minutes.
