What the rules are for coming into our facility.

00:30:23Cristina Rodriguez

How to continue participation engagement with our virtual programming.

00:30:26Gina Wood

Signage, marketing plan for opening

00:30:33Macy Burkett

COVID signage is my big project. We just ordered a plotter printer and frames for 24x36 posters to hang around the facility

00:30:36Krista Herring - UCCS

My priority right now is getting our communications strategy for covid specific items together/finalized

00:30:51Ashley Hall

We’ve been working a lot with signage for virtual fitness and trying to encourage fitness while away from the facility

00:30:54Taryn-Lea McEachrane

Signage, policies, promoting virtual programs

00:30:55Ben Nelson - Minnesota State, Mankato

Working on a video to discuss changes/new rules patrons will see when we open.

00:31:26Tara Gilkey

Hi Anthony!

00:31:35Ashley Hall

Also working on a reopening video/tour

00:31:46Maria Lauron-Ramos (She/Her/Hers)

Princeton: Working on Signage/Verbiage on signs for space in the building. Other Priorities: Re-developing strategy for social media content that relates to our solidarity statement to ensure we aren’t going back to “normal content”.

00:31:53David Podschun - USC

How are you balancing current and new signage around facility?

00:32:20David Podschun - USC

AND - if those policies are fluid how are you creating signage that might change frequently...

00:33:13Anthony U of Central Arkansas

@David: Most of the signage is the information that comes from CDC and our department of health. Most likely not changing.

00:34:17Kendra Moretti

Thank you for sharing Cristina!

00:38:34Anthony U of Central Arkansas

Yes @Cristina.

00:39:49Ashley Hall

Can you all let Maiya Turner in?

00:39:53Ben Nelson - Minnesota State, Mankato

I would be interested to know how others are connecting with /marketing to new entering students. Our orientation is 100% online and we are doing some virtual (zoom) resource fairs to connect and answer questions.

00:40:53Mo Phillips - Sonoma State University

good idea

00:40:55David Podschun - USC

@Ben we have set up a specific webpage that's sort of a one-stop place for new students and also allows them to submit questions. It goes live next week for us and will be sent to all new students.

00:41:17Cristina Rodriguez

at UTRGV they are providing the public image of COVID-19 signage

00:41:41Ben Nelson - Minnesota State, Mankato

Our University-wide marketing team has some general template signage they're using in most facilities, we will have to design our own for signage for anything specific to us.

00:41:45Danielle Anderson

I use a large format printer (Variquest) with templates I can make flyers / signage immediately.

00:42:17Maria Lauron-Ramos (She/Her/Hers)

Simplifying policies and using graphics that align with the message. We have building signage that has been created through the University’s Environmental Health Services. Then I have been customizing signage for specific activity rooms.

00:42:24Krista Herring - UCCS

There is also a thread on the NIRSA Marketing Facebook group about signage so feel free to hop over there and upload any signage or request any examples to be sent to you! https://www.facebook.com/groups/nirsamarketingprofessionals/

00:42:37Cristina Rodriguez

@anthony that is a cute slogan.

00:43:36Krista Herring - UCCS

Thanks Cristina!

00:44:10Luis Banda

We are looking to create a campaign for Fall to market our programming and using student employees to relay the message

00:44:14Anthony U of Central Arkansas

@Cristina: We are working on the verbiage and checking for already used #s.

00:44:22Gina Wood

We’re using Your Help Matters and We’re In This Together for a lot of our messaging

00:44:22Anthony U of Central Arkansas

verbage

00:45:02Ashley Hall

We had signage on every other machine for proper distancing

00:45:26Anthony U of Central Arkansas

Yes, signs and marking tape.

00:45:40Krista Herring - UCCS

UNL video is on this page: https://crec.unl.edu/covid

00:46:06Anthony U of Central Arkansas

Yes @Michael. I have heard those in other chats.

00:46:52Cristina Rodriguez

UTRGV created a What to Expect video to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEDFpG2OgHk

00:47:38Cristina Rodriguez

We used CriCut to create internal stickers to place on windows and plexiglass

00:48:09Anthony U of Central Arkansas

@Maria. See pic.

00:49:58Brooke Povich

Is anyone requiring masks at all times in the facility including while working out? If so, do you have specific signage/language for this? If any schools are in the same situation, would be happy to talk more individually as well

00:50:14Anthony U of Central Arkansas

@Cristina: I love the "make big sign maker."

00:50:17Maria Lauron-Ramos (She/Her/Hers)

@Anthony - Thank you!

00:51:51Krista Herring - UCCS

@Anthony HEARD! I appreciate the heads up for sure!

00:53:29Gina Wood

* We are going to host a staff test day before we open and will be making a video showing how to enter and how to maneuver around the facility

00:53:52Tara Gilkey

Those that have made videos, have they had success in being viewed by patrons? What platforms have you shared the videos on?

00:55:42Cristina Rodriguez

Videos hosted on YouTube, shared on FB, TW, IN.... Looking to embed into website.

00:55:47Jessica Allen of Texas Southern Univ.

IGTV, Youtube, twitter, campusrec website

00:56:30David Podschun - USC

We will use our Reach TV's in facility for videos and signage

00:58:36Tara Gilkey

Thanks everyone!

00:59:07Gina Wood

We started offering as many classes as possible on multiple platforms at ones to increase attendance - most are on IG Live and Zoom at the same time

00:59:26Adrienne Gossett

What equipment/setup do you recommend for creating a virtual / on-demand group exercise space?

00:59:35Anthony U of Central Arkansas

Esports and the virtual 5k are more popular than our zoom group ex.

00:59:56Cristina Rodriguez

We just started reaching out to groups on campus to present to: (1) SGA and (2) ResLife since they are active in the summer... we are also working with recruitment office to send to entering freshman

01:00:01David Podschun - USC

@Gina and @Adrienne how has participation been in the social media live classes?

01:00:47Anthony U of Central Arkansas

@Kristia: Yes on routes on their own. Also make them "honest" with app information.

01:00:55Luis Banda

We ar ein the process of marketing to all new students through new student orientation and trying to link them to our social media, IMLeagues and website

01:00:56Adrienne Gossett

@David we’re currently not offering, but we’re looking forward to fall quarter..

01:01:06Jessica Allen of Texas Southern Univ.

Same reaching out to different Orgs on campus, and hosting health and wellness chats

01:01:11Gina Wood

@David - We’ve been averaging 20-30 per live class but higher numbers after they are saved to IGTV

01:01:23David Podschun - USC

@Gina thanks!

01:01:32Gina Wood

IG Live and IGTV are highest for us

01:01:37Maria Lauron-Ramos (She/Her/Hers)

We’ve been hosting ALL classes via Zoom only. For spring Virtual Classes we’ve had an average of 295 participation per week. For summer, I’m not sure of numbers. However we’ve found that participants are those who have not attended in person classes.

01:02:03Mo Phillips - Sonoma State University

our orientation is online right now so we have been sending info to the O leaders to share with the new students.

01:02:15Andrew C. UMass Boston

how are students login to accounts ?

01:02:33Mo Phillips - Sonoma State University

we also have a seawolf chat program where we can send a text/insta like message to all first year students through the chatbot program

01:02:47Gina Wood

We use it for live classes, weekly PT and Fitness classes posted to our feed

01:02:56Gina Wood

@calpolyreccenter

01:02:59Andrew C. UMass Boston

student employees login on to department accounts

01:03:10Maria Lauron-Ramos (She/Her/Hers)

IGTV content has not been as successful as regular feed videos on our end.

01:05:10Jessica Allen of Texas Southern Univ.

SAME!

01:07:15Gina Wood

We filmed a block of fitness videos in our rec center when this started and we post those weekly - we will be filming more in August to get us through fall. Higher quality fitness classes to break up all of the IG Live classes

01:07:42Gina Wood

We also rotate them out on our website and point to YouTube

01:08:32Jay McKendall

Is anyone using twitch?

01:09:20Krista Herring - UCCS

@Jay we’ve only used it for the Trivia challenge in the springs semester

01:09:46Luis Banda

Our department is actually in charge of new student orientation as well. Here is direct link to online and inperson orientation - https://life.southtexascollege.edu/activities/fyc/

01:10:14David Podschun - USC

We are also hosting virtual sessions for orientation through zoom, sorry my son is making too much noise :)

01:10:37Michael Wilson - Texas Woman's University

We found an Instagram account that focuses specifically on the 2024 class. We followed that account and all of the students mentioned in their posts. That gained us over 100 new followers. We also created a virtual welcome/orientation video that shows the facility. We are also working on First-year only student events.

01:10:52Maria Lauron-Ramos (She/Her/Hers)

@David never apologize!

01:11:18Michael Wilson - Texas Woman's University

UTRGV recruitment is now introducing a drive thru pick up... so we added materials

01:13:52Jill Wells

01:14:45Cristina Rodriguez
