I may have missed this - Do your students pay for their WFR certification or does your program cover that for volunteer leaders?
Shannon Richardson, Univ. of Mississippi
Alyssa, thank you for the question, I'll ask David in a moment.
Caroline Dotts
We (the CRC) covers the cost of WFR at Georgia Tech
Caroline Dotts
a portion of our budget is funded through student fees (SGA)
Tyler Cox
Are students who get certifications paid for required to lead a certain amount of trips?
Bill Sparks - Miami University of Ohio
I love the idea of the professional language shift and the picture, we are struggling with paid student trip leaders vs. volunteers and all the questions that come with qualifying volunteers.
Daniel Perdue
I think that not knowing what budget cuts/allowances will be because of Covid kinda keeps us from being able to revaluate
Mary Ellen Milam - TCU
Are any paid staff required to be on any specific trips or are all trips led by volunteers?
Daniel Perdue
our director mentioned he has prepared for “worst case” scenarios
Chad Schlundt
Ultimately with all the unknown circumstances of COVID-19, what philosophical changes is your program going to make, with the hope of still staying true to your original Outdoor Program philosophy
Ed Baltes
To what extent have you all entertained Virtual programming? For example here at Kennesaw State we have been working on Virtual Team Building offerings. What kind of ideas have you all come up with?
Bill Sparks - Miami University of Ohio
I curious to hear more about that Ed!
Shannon Richardson, Univ. of Mississippi
Thanks Ed, I'll ask in a moment

Lance Haynie-Univ of Georgia
Just want to plug the ongoing and recorded webinars from AORE (adding more depth to outdoor rec issues): https://aore.org/coronavirus.php
Chad Schlundt- Grand Canyon University
Just curious: Are any other institution's talking about students not returning to their campuses in the Fall Semester of 2020. If so how is that impacted your Outdoor Program, and how are you justifying the need for the program in the event that our traditional program changes...

Lance Haynie-Univ of Georgia
@Trey...we are eagerly awaiting that guidance
Lance Haynie-Univ of Georgia
That is probably my biggest challenge right now
Donald Schmit, Washington State University
I haven’t heard much of anything about required PPE yet from our university. I’ve been lucky enough to already have some masks and respirators on hand for myself since I’m still working to keep our bike share going. I don’t have enough to cover our staff though when they come back.
erik daly lafayette college
Running to another meeting! Thank you for the time and info...Be safe all!

Headrush/Trublue White paper on protecting and disinfecting: https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/5957371/website-docs/whitepapers/Disinfection_WP_03_20.pdf
Mary Ellen Milam - TCU
From a really selfish perspective....We currently have a vacancy in our full time position of Asst. Director of OP, and hope to fill it but given uncertain budget future and possible hiring freeze, if anyone has any tips on how to train student staff and put together a program with no expert on the pro staff, please email me your ideas! No returning student staff that are qualified as trips leaders so really starting with basics. m.e.milam@tcu.edu
Caroline Dotts
